About me

I’m a software engineer with more than 14 years of experience across software and chemical engineering.

I specialize in highly interactive, data-centric applications. With a foundation in chemical engineering, I evolved into a full-stack developer focused on TypeScript, React and SolidJS, Python, and C#.

I’m at my best building tools that help engineers and technical teams analyze data, visualize complex systems, and automate the parts of a workflow that get in the way of the real work.

How I got here

I studied chemical engineering at Purdue University and began my career close to experiments, process equipment, and physical systems. Software first entered the picture as a practical answer: a way to connect datasets, automate repetitive analysis, and make complicated behavior visible.

Those tools became larger and more ambitious. Over time, the center of gravity shifted from engineering supported by software to software shaped by engineering experience. I still approach product work the same way—start with the system, understand how people reason about it, and make the interface reveal what matters.

What I care about

I care about clean code, thoughtful interfaces, and measurable impact. I like software with enough domain depth that design and engineering cannot be separated: analysis environments, developer tools, data products, and systems that help specialists make better decisions.

Right now I’m especially interested in agentic interfaces, LLM-assisted data modeling, SolidJS, and better ways to capture the context behind technical work—not just the finished artifact.
