Experience
Verkada | San Mateo, CA
- - Incoming intern on Verkada's Workplace team.
Zayo Group | Denver, CO
- - Built Backstage self-service flows that bind platform capabilities to services through a platform.yaml contract.
- - Worked across GitLab, Helm, and Terraform provisioning paths for internal infrastructure and network observability workflows.

Hillclimb (YC F25) | Remote
- - Built a research data platform UI and npm SDK with SvelteKit, Cloudflare Workers, and TypeScript.
- - Implemented an AWS Lambda and HonoJS pipeline for coding trace processing and redaction.
- - Managed Terraform across 6 AWS accounts and reduced NAT gateway costs by 74%.
Viasat | Carlsbad, CA
- - Automated customer order validation and fulfillment with Python batch processing and AWS SQS, increasing speed by 300%.

- - Designed GraphQL endpoints and integrated AWS SQS, S3, and CloudWatch for real-time batch monitoring.
Bits of Good (Nonprofit) | Atlanta, GA
- - Reworked the iCAN backend into service and repository layers with Zod request schemas for medication flows.
- - Built medication schedule logic, streak rewards, pet state updates, and notification paths for child and parent workflows.
- - Wired React views through TanStack Query hooks so mutations, invalidation, and onboarding state stayed consistent.
Intelligent Digital Communications | Atlanta, GA
