About

Hey There! 👋

I’m a tech enthusiast with a knack for simplifying the complex - especially in the fintech world. Currently, I’m weaving my coding magic at Upstart, using AI and data science to change the game in the credit industry. It’s an adventure I’ve been on for the past four years, alongside a team that’s as gung-ho about making a difference as I am.

My journey didn’t start here, though. Back at Snapdocs, I was piecing together backend puzzles to smooth out the bumps between notaries and lenders. And before diving into the world of fintech, I was over at General Assembly, lighting bulbs in the heads of aspiring coders. It turns out, my journey through mathematics and special education wasn’t just a path, but a toolkit for tackling challenges and empowering others.

But hey, life isn’t all about work, right? When I’m not coding, you can find me globe-trotting to places unknown, conjuring up some exotic soap in my kitchen (lavender and charcoal, anyone?), or diving into the latest video game saga. These hobbies keep me balanced, inspired, and ever-curious about the world’s vast tapestry.

I believe in the power of technology to connect and uplift, crafting software that’s as empathetic as it is intelligent. If you’re into making meaningful tech, swapping travel tales, or discussing the merits of artisan soap over a game session, let’s chat. Who knows what we can create together?
