01. About Me

I'm a software developer with experience in application development, process orchestration, and business process modeling. At Morgan Stanley, I design and build Camunda-based orchestration services that automate and coordinate business processes across teams.

I'm interested in data science and machine learning, and I'm currently pursuing a Master's degree in Machine Learning at Georgia Tech to deepen that expertise. Beyond code, I care deeply about equal access to education and the transformative power of technology to make that possible.
