About

I'm a software engineer based in NYC, currently working at Klaviyo. I focus on performance optimization and building scalable systems. I graduated from the University of South Florida in 2018 with a degree in computer science.

At Klaviyo, I'm working on scaling and decomposing the message rendering platform. I've helped ensure the system can reliably handle over 6 billion messages per day during peak traffic.

Outside of work, I live in NYC with my partner and dog. I enjoy running and playing FPS games.
