Building scalable enterprise applications at the intersection of clean architecture and great UX.
A little about me
I'm a Software Engineer based in Newark, DE with over 5 years of experience building enterprise-grade web applications in regulated environments like financial services.
At JPMorgan Chase, I've led frontend architecture decisions, delivered greenfield products from the ground up, and modernized legacy systems into scalable React-based platforms — all while keeping security and governance at the core.
Outside of work, I'm an Eagle Scout — a distinction that shaped how I approach leadership, problem-solving, and getting things done with integrity.
