Senior software and embedded systems engineer.

I build across embedded firmware, distributed systems, and cloud infrastructure, with recent work centered on integrating AI into production systems and fast-moving product teams.

ABOUT.SYS

Systems work that spans firmware, backend, and applied AI.

My background covers embedded systems, backend services, and infrastructure-heavy product work. I have spent the last several years solving low-level reliability problems, shipping production features in Go, and bridging the gap between hardware and cloud teams.

More recently, I have been focused on bringing AI capabilities into existing workflows, mentoring incoming engineers, and building systems that stay practical under real operational constraints. I earned a B.S. in Computer Engineering from the University of Florida.
