About

Who I am

I'm a developer and researcher with a flair for both mobile and full-stack work. My time has been split between shipping production apps used by tens of thousands of people, and digging into research problems in NLP and knowledge graphs — driven by a relentless curiosity about how systems actually work under the hood.

Mobile development

Building seamless, production-grade mobile apps end to end — from concept to a published app with 50,000+ real users.

Full-stack systems

Integrating front-end and back-end cleanly — Go microservices, PostgreSQL, REST APIs, and the React/Node layer that ties it together.

Applied research

Currently building LLM-driven pipelines that turn decades of citation data into knowledge graphs at Brown's Satlow Labs.
