Software Engineer · Applied ML/NLP · Data Engineering

From raw data to something people actually use.

I build software that ships and models that work: Java/Spring Boot and Angular in production at NTT DATA, an ML thesis graded 10/10, and now the modern data stack (dbt, Airflow, Spark, AWS) at Next Academy.
