About Me

I'm currently a Data/Software Engineer at Open Architects, where I build and maintain data infrastructure for educational analytics. My work focuses on automating data pipelines, optimizing system performance, and ensuring reliable delivery of insights to over 130 school districts. I've led efforts to modernize legacy systems, reduce operational costs, and improve data quality, all while keeping the platform scalable and maintainable as we grow.

Previously, I worked at Frontier Communications in Tampa, where I developed ETL pipelines, machine learning models, and dashboards for wholesale customer analytics.

I graduated with my MS in Computer Engineering from Duke University in May 2023, specializing in machine learning and big data. Before that, I earned my Bachelor's in Data Science from Bryant University with minors in Business Administration and Mathematics. I've also worked with the LA Clippers as an intern doing data analytics (summers 2021 & 2022), where I developed pricing strategies and predictive models for ticketing and attendance optimization.

Outside of work, I'm a basketball fanatic and enjoy exploring how machine learning applies to sports analytics. I'm constantly learning about new developments in data infrastructure and cloud technologies, always looking for ways to build better, faster, more reliable systems.
