Hello! I am a passionate software engineer and system architect currently working at Northrop Grumman within the Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL). On the Account Management Development team, I focus on automating and orchestrating security measures and other features for accounts on DAF CLOUDworks, the Air Force's hybrid cloud solution. I work with various skilled and innovative teams on the project to deliver low latency, highly available solutions.

I graduated from Hamilton College in 2024 with a bachelor's degree in Computer Science, where I had the honor of being a Senior Fellow. My academic journey has been marked by a deep interest in various cutting-edge research areas, leading to several publications. My research interests span Genetic Programming, Evolutionary Computation, Human-Computer Interaction, Software-Defined Network Architecture, and more.

I am committed to leveraging my expertise to drive innovation and enhance the security and efficiency of cloud infrastructure. Welcome to my professional space, where you can learn more about my work, projects, and contributions to the field of computer science.
