About

I am a senior software engineer at GitHub working on the Copilot API. Previously at Microsoft working on Azure Notification Hubs, a service which handles several hundred billion API requests per month, where I drove service modernization/rearchitecture from a legacy monolith to microservices. Prior to returning to Microsoft, I worked at Leidos on acoustic signal processing for sonar simulations with a focus on GPU-accelerated computing using NVidia's CUDA API. I enjoy learning and solving difficult problems across a variety of problem spaces. My passion drives me to find elegant, performant, and reliable solutions to difficult problems.
