I love to build the things that work in the background, the stuff that no one notices until it's down. I graduated from WPI in 2026 with a BS in Computer Science (High Distinction) and a minor in Data Science. Most of my hands-on experience comes from three internships with New England Biolabs' IT organization, where I built a Python integration framework syncing SAP, Salesforce, and Benchling; a Flask/PostgreSQL API backing a Prometheus monitoring pipeline; and a containerized architecture isolating authentication, monitoring, and API services with Docker. Outside of work, I run a home lab that touches every layer of the OSI model: VLAN-segmented switching, a self-hosted DNS setup, a multi-hop VPN stack, and a small Kubernetes cluster. Networking came first, stemming from an IT vocational program in high school, then came the software, built on top of that foundation. I'm looking for backend or infrastructure engineering roles: Python and Rust, distributed systems, and environments where I can work through the stack, not just on top of it.
