Building high-performance systems with Rust, TypeScript, and React.

about

I write code that doesn't waste your time. Rust for the backend, TypeScript for the frontend, and a healthy obsession with making things fast.

Currently working as a contract engineer at Accenture, building full-stack SaaS components for enterprise productivity tools. Before that, I was at IBM, crafting async APIs and developer tooling with local AI integration.

Based in Pittsburgh. Pursuing an AS in Software Development at CCAC when I'm not shipping production code. I believe good software should feel invisible — fast, reliable, and completely out of your way.
