Hi there!
I am a Software Engineer based in Philadelphia, currently building educational technology at Savvas Learning. I am also the creator of Patco Today, a transit app serving over 1,200 users. With a strong foundation in full-stack development and mobile applications, I am passionate about leveraging technology to enhance education, public infrastructure, and community well-being.
Outside of work, I enjoy hiking, practicing music, working on DIY projects, and tinkering with electronics. I also value spending quality time with my partner and our two cats.
