I'm currently working at AWS, focused on designing and deploying production AI systems for public sector organizations. My recent work includes agentic systems, evaluation frameworks, fine-tuning LLMs, and scaling AI responsibly. Feel free to reach out!

Previously, I developed software to automate business operations for a manufacturing firm, optimized a transit system for the city of Madison, and helped a startup implement marketing analytics as part of a venture capital fellowship. I have a background in mathematics and computer science from the University of Wisconsin-Madison, where I worked as a teaching assistant for 3 years.
