About
Lead full-stack engineer at Paradigm Testing, based in Tysons, Virginia. I studied computer science at UMBC after switching from biochemistry mid-undergrad — spent too much time behind a screen to pretend I belonged in a lab. Currently finishing a master's in AI at Georgia Tech.
I build APIs, data pipelines, and full-stack applications — mostly with Java/Spring Boot, React, PostgreSQL, and Redis. My philosophy is simple: build fast, break things, but always test. A solid test suite is non-negotiable, especially on the backend. With AI in the workflow now, there's no excuse not to have one.
Outside of work, I rock climb every other day. It's programming for athletes — full-body problem solving that keeps me sharp. I'm also deep into agentic AI workflows, deployment automation, and building tools that make the development cycle faster.
