About

README.md

I'm a software engineer with a B.S. in Computer Science from St. John's University. I'm most interested in backend systems, machine learning, and the kind of technical work that turns rough ideas into software people can actually use.

Most of my recent work sits at the intersection of full-stack products, backend architecture, and applied AI. I enjoy building APIs, shaping platform systems, and turning strong technical ideas into software that feels practical, thoughtful, and durable.

I am especially drawn to work that rewards good engineering judgment and attention to detail, whether the goal is product execution, platform design, or research-informed problem solving.

Machine Learning Engineer

Sep 2025 — Dec 2025

Explored machine-learning and signal-processing methods for improving interference mitigation in lunar and low-frequency astronomy settings. Helped define a theoretical SDR-based approach targeting roughly 20 dB interference suppression and translated the work into proposal materials and a New Technology Report for potential NASA applications.
