Career Path Overview

After working in the entertainment industry in a variety of project management roles that ultimately led to the opportunity to contribute to the launch of Snapchat's short form content studio, Indigo, and later NBCUniversal's streaming service, Peacock, I was exposed to enough technical work to I realized I was just as interested in how these platforms ran as I was the shows I was able to put on them.


In 2020, I made the decision to pursue a degree in Computer Science. After finishing what would have been my undergraduate CS coursework while working as an Account Executive at DoorDash's Trigger Group, I began a working towards my Master of Science in Computer Science with a concentration in real time systems and software development.


Today, I am a well rounded professional and capable software engineer with a passion for writing highly optimized code. I am excited to continue building high performance systems and contributing to large scale projects.
