About

I'm a software engineer in the defense industry. I started at Lockheed Martin Skunk Works building mission-critical flight software, and now focus on full-stack applications across the enterprise — spanning aerospace products, backend optimization, and CI/CD infrastructure.

Outside of work, I was a 4-year starter on the UT Austin Men's Soccer Team and enjoy playing the piano.

Interests

🛰️

Mission-Critical Software

Building software that works in the field — real-time systems, operator-facing tools, and products where failure isn't an option.

✈️

Defense & National Security Tech

Passionate about applying modern software to hard national security problems. Skunk Works taught me what's possible when you build with urgency and purpose.

⚙️

Applied AI & Data

Turning complex operational data into decisions — forecasting models, computer vision pipelines, and analytics that surface what matters.

⚽

Soccer

4-year starter on the UT Austin Men's Soccer Team. Still play competitively — high-performance teams are something I think about on and off the field.
