Solutions Engineering

Freelance Developer & Consultant

Combining all previous experiences to deliver full-stack solutions for businesses. From building responsive websites to implementing ML algorithms, I bring a unique operational perspective to technical development.

My Story

My path to software development wasn't traditional, but that's exactly what makes me valuable to your team.

I started in Electrical Engineering at NJIT, where I learned to think systematically about complex problems. When I transitioned to operations management at CVS and later at a law firm, I discovered how technology could transform business efficiency—but only when built by someone who truly understands operational needs.

Managing CRM systems for 5000+ clients taught me that good code isn't just functional; it's maintainable, scalable, and user-friendly. Leading teams showed me that the best solutions come from understanding both technical constraints and human needs.

Today, I'm a solutions engineer who bridges the gap between what's technically possible and what's operationally necessary. Whether I'm building a machine learning model to predict sports outcomes or creating a simple booking integration for a local business, I approach each project with the same question: "How will this make someone's job easier?"

What Drives Me

  • Problem-Solving: Every bug is a puzzle, every feature request an opportunity to innovate
  • Continuous Learning: From AWS certifications to new frameworks, I'm always expanding my toolkit
  • Real Impact: Building solutions that deliver measurable business results
  • Community: Mentoring the next generation through Dover College Promise

Beyond The Code

When I'm not debugging code or optimizing databases, you'll find me mentoring students, exploring new ML algorithms, or contributing to open-source projects. I believe in giving back to the community that helped me transition into tech.
