About

I love solving problems. During college, I discovered the power of automation during a final project for a class in Government. After spending hours filling a giant spreadsheet with data, my hands were hurting from all the clicking, copying, and pasting. I knew there must be a better way.

A few Google searches later, I built my first macro, changing the way I thought about work forever. I've spent the years since learning to code from the ground up, one project at a time.

I learned Full Stack Development while automating my first job, eventually building web applications, automating data processes, and creating interactive visualizations. Over time, I started working with a team of developers, took leadership roles in more projects, and eventually grew to manage engineering teams.

Since the advent of Generative AI, I have stayed on the bleeding edge of the field, connecting with leading researchers, developers, and business leaders to build the future of AI. I'm an active contributor to the AI Biz Hour podcast and regularly speak and write about the evolving landscape of AI.
