Hi there 👋

I'm a freelance software engineer with a focus on automation, data engineering, and emerging AI tech. Most recently, I worked at Netflix, where I built and maintained data workflows that powered business operations using tools like Python, Spark, SQL/Trino, and more. While there, I also explored generative AI for internal use cases like data extraction and developer tooling.

Before that, I was a Senior Intelligent Automation Consultant, leading end-to-end RPA implementations and diving into internal R&D projects. We evaluated generative AI tools alongside Intelligent Document Processing (IDP) platforms, and even prototyped some early RAG (Retrieval Augmented Generation) systems to explore their value in a consulting context.

I earned my B.S. in Physics from the University of Central Florida (Go Knights!), with minors in Math and Computer Science. While at UCF, I did research in Raman spectroscopy with Dr. Alfons Schulte and co-authored a paper on GaN materials. I'm currently pursuing a Master’s degree in Computer Science at Georgia Tech, with an interest in AI and systems.
