About

As a software engineer with full stack experience, I'm passionate about building beautiful products and writing great code. After graduating from UPenn (undergrad + masters), I've been working in the tech industry gathering a wide range of experiences, from infra at Salesforce to fullstack at Verkada (series D startup). Currently, I'm a product engineer at Robinhood, building the future of personal finance.

Outside of tech, I love films, music, F1 racing, soccer (Real Madrid), and UFC.
