Staff Engineer · AI Strategist · Helping Schools & Businesses Transform Through Technology

About

I’m a staff engineer with 9 years of experience in full-stack architecture and product engineering — currently at Procore Technologies. Beyond my engineering work, I operate at the intersection of two spaces I care deeply about: Education — I work with schools to reimagine how they run — from academic outcomes to operational efficiency — through structured consulting and technology. AI Adoption — I help businesses cut through the AI noise and actually implement it — identifying high-leverage use cases, building workflows, and driving measurable outcomes. I’m drawn to problems where technology meets human systems — and where the gap between potential and reality is embarrassingly large. Open to conversations in education transformation, AI implementation, and engineering leadership
