// 01 · about

Engineer. Builder. Neon enthusiast.

I'm a full-stack engineer on a Voice AI team, where I'm the technical owner of a React/TypeScript platform that linguists around the world use to review and score AI-generated voice audio. I also own its backend data sync and its migration to a GCP cloud architecture.

Before that I led internal tools and learning systems: shipping SwiftUI macOS apps used daily by large support teams and multilingual e-learning in four languages. I turn manual processes into production software, and I automate the boring parts so teams ship faster.

Outside of work I run a podcast, make music, design brands and build games. My M.S. in Cybersecurity means I think about how things break before they do.
