I am a senior software and product engineer based in Brooklyn, NY. I have extensive experience working on greenfield projects, from conception and design through to concrete realization. I have always been an asset to business stakeholders who are not entirely certain what they are trying to build, let alone how to build it.
In my free time, you will find me refining classical French cooking techniques in the kitchen, practicing Qigong near my home in Prospect Park, or playing guitar whenever I happen to be around one.
I received a B.A. in Neurobiology from Harvard College in 2010.
