I'm currently a Software Engineer II at Datadog, where I started as an intern in 2022 and 2023 during my time at Northeastern University. I work full-stack using Python, Go, Typescript/React, and Kubernetes, and work day-to-day on a large scale microservice architecture.

I interned at Microsoft Azure in 2022 on the Software Load Balancer (SLB) Buildout team of Azure Core. Here I worked primarily with C# and helped develop internal tooling for core Azure infrastructure.

I interned at Bose in 2021 on the Automotive Systems Division working on Android app development and OS extensions for Android Automotive.

During my time at Northeastern Univeristy studing computer science, I was a Teaching Assistant for Algorithms & Data Structures, and Fundamentals of Computer Science 1 Accelerated (where I also worked a second semester as a Head TA).

I can sing, as well as play the piano, trombone, and a bit of guitar. I love to play music and sing along with friends -- it's something that always brings me joy. I usually end up playing whatever I've been listening to in the moment, whether it be electronic music, pop, hip hop, or even classic rock.

I love playing the game celeste, particularly speedrunning the game. My current any% (the category I usually play) PB is 45 mins and 17.18 seconds. While I played it the most from 2022-2023, these days I still hop on to get in a few runs every now and then!

I've started collecting records, as I finally got a record player when I moved to somerville, MA, with my girlfriend Brooke. I really enjoy owning my favorite albums in a physical medium, and having a more intentional listening experience, especially since my preferred way to listen to music is to sit down and listen to an album front to back.

I love spending time with my friends and girlfriends (Brooke and Mia), whether it be watching good shows, playing games, or just talking. I really appreciate a good deep conversation, and I always love to learn more about the people I care about.
