Curiosity comes first.
I was the kid taking apart computers to see what was inside. These days, I put things together.
I’m a Computer Science graduate from Georgia State University, working across data engineering, AI, and the web. I like understanding how things work—and making them work a little better.
Space. Cooking. Time with my people.
