BIO
06 / 06

Started by building things people actually used — got hooked on the gap between what the user sees and what's running underneath. That curiosity has been the constant.

At Rario, I went from intern to owning full product surfaces: wallet infrastructure, real-time matchmaking, NFT marketplaces, payments, component libraries. I've made architectural calls, set standards, reviewed code, and shipped to prod — not just written features.

Graduate school at NYU is deliberate. I want the depth in distributed systems, databases, and backend architecture to back up the intuitions I've built shipping. The plan is to design systems at scale — not just implement them.

Outside the editor: ran hackathon sponsorships, taught workshops to 500+ devs across universities, competed in Toastmasters. Good engineers communicate.

I DON'T
JUST BUILD
FEATURES.
I BUILD
SYSTEMS.
LET'S
TALK.
HIRE.

Open to Summer 2027 internships in software engineering — React Native, backend systems, full-stack.
