Engineer by curiosity, philomath by nature

👋🏼 Welcome to my little corner on the Internet!

I'm a curious builder who loves turning messy, real-world problems into clean technical solutions. Right now, I'm doing that as a Forward Deployed Engineer at Tavily, working at the intersection of AI and search. Before that I shipped LLM-powered tools in edtech and private equity - a path I carved out after teaching myself to code and leaving a career in economics.

Outside of work, you'll find me clicking landscape photographs, chasing high scores in Balatro, or experimenting in the kitchen as I learn to cook on my own!

If you have an interesting project that you want to build, or ideas that you'd like to chat about, I'm always open to connecting!
