About

I'm a software developer with a Bachelor's in Computer Science from CUNY City College of New York. I'm passionate about backend systems, infrastructure, and platform engineering.

Currently at Shopify, I've worked on migrating transactional messaging pipelines to dual-region architectures and built static analysis tooling to catch security vulnerabilities across large codebases.

Previously, I was a Production Engineering Fellow at Meta through the MLH Fellowship, where I got hands-on with containerized deployments, monitoring stacks, and site reliability practices.
