Software Engineer at Southwest Airlines. I build applications that think, drink too much coffee, and always welcome food recommendations.

About Me
From research papers to production software.
My Journey
I started out in research where I learned to think critically about hard problems. A few papers in, I realized I'd rather build things to solve problems than write about them. That ended up taking me back to school for a computer science degree at Oregon State.
Today I'm a Software Engineer at Southwest Airlines where I've gotten to do a bit of everything. I led a 4-engineer team building the event-driven platform that powers notifications for ~90K employees and contractors, helped build the FAA-mandated emergency response platform, built an AI dev platform my team uses daily, and won first place at Southwest's 2024 hackathon for an AI travel planner I built the backend for.
I landed in full-stack engineering because I like owning the whole application and understanding how it all works, from the backend to the pixels on screen. After diving into AWS, I'm now excited about AI/ML and the potential it has. Excited enough that I'm back in school for it, working through my M.S. in computer science at Georgia Tech.
