Available to hire
I am a solutions purveyor with a varied skillset and experiences. I’ve collaborated with C-suite executives as part of a consultant team, led a startup in the internet agency space, and worked as an individual contributor. I enjoy solving complex problems and mentoring teams, sharing knowledge, and helping others grow. I’m currently pursuing post-graduate studies at the University of Texas focusing on AI and ML to bring even more value to the teams I join.
I am looking to find a collaborative team where I can mentor others, contribute across the stack, and continue learning while having fun. I thrive on tackling issues that have resisted previous attempts and aim to understand why they occur rather than applying a quick fix. I’m excited to continue expanding my skills, especially in AI/ML, while making meaningful impact.
