About Me
I am a driven software engineer and entrepreneur with a passion for creating impactful technology solutions.

At JPMorgan Chase, I contribute to high-profile fintech applications, including the Dining Hub for over 2 million Chase Sapphire customers, combining full-stack development with cloud computing and data-driven insights. My journey blends technical expertise, leadership, and innovation — from building neural networks and simulating complex systems in Python, to developing scalable consumer-facing applications. I thrive at the intersection of technology and business, turning ideas into real-world solutions.
