About

Two disciplines, one way of thinking.

I sit at the intersection of software engineering and education operations — which means I build the product and then make sure the people around it actually succeed with it.

I'm a full-stack software engineer and education operations manager based in New York City, with eight years of experience spanning web and mobile application development, team leadership, campus operations, and STEM education programs.

On the engineering side I've shipped cross-platform applications, modernized legacy systems, improved application performance, and helped increase user engagement and conversion rates. My day-to-day toolkit is JavaScript, TypeScript, React, Next.js, React Native, Node.js, PostgreSQL, Prisma, and MongoDB.

Outside of traditional software development, I manage education programs, coordinate instructors and students, communicate with families, and organize robotics and programming competitions. This combination of engineering and operational leadership lets me approach challenges from both a technical and a people-focused perspective.

I enjoy solving complex problems, building practical digital products, and creating systems that make a meaningful real-world impact.

Education

Bachelor of Science in Computer Science

Pace University · New York, NY

2019 — 2023

Full-stack engineering

React, Next.js, and React Native on the front; Node.js, PostgreSQL, and Prisma behind it. I care about performance budgets, accessibility, and code that stays readable a year later.

Operations leadership

I run campus operations, recruit and manage instructors, and keep families informed. Coordinating people is its own engineering problem, and I treat it that way.

STEM programs

I plan and organize VEX Robotics and programming competitions, and lead student teams to events across the United States, from training through on-site support.

Experience

Eight years of shipping and leading.

From modernizing legacy platforms to running a campus and coaching robotics teams — here's the path so far.
