Reflections on love and connection from Kygo's 2022 single ♪ Freeze ♪
As a full-stack software engineer with a lifelong learner operating system, I’ve developed a deep appreciation for human diversity, resilient systems, and products that must work across cultures and contexts through exploring new places, pushing me to build for humans, not just features, and strengthening the kind of pattern recognition that happens far beyond the screen.
After studying Computer Science at university, I picked up React in its infancy and started managing the web presence for local businesses. This was where design and engineering collapsed into the same feedback loop, and where UX, performance, and delivery started to feel like one discipline instead of separate jobs.
I decided to go deep on data science and machine learning, then got a full-time job teaching 900+ online college students during the pandemic. This experience taught me how to make complex ideas practical, simplify the stack without dumbing it down, and communicate with precision under real time constraints.
I’ve shipped full-stack products to millions of global users on fully distributed teams, operating at production scale without sacrificing quality. At CellarTracker, I spearheaded the CellarChat™ feature and led the LLM evaluations and observability systems. I was an intricate part of helping to drive the native mobile app ratings to 4.9★ average.
Top 10 out of 10,000 global submissions, our team in Florianópolis, Brazil was awarded finalists in the NASA Space Apps Challenge by building a voice-controlled wildfire map powered by NASA satellite data. We demonstrated how clear mission alignment accelerates momentum.
Nowadays, I am surfing the wave of agentic AI into the sunset. Thankfully, it feels more like the sunrise than the sunset because in Fall 2025, I was admitted into Gauntlet, a prestigious AI engineering fellowship, where I learned that I can build any software in the world with AI-native tooling and spec-driven development.
My goal now is to apply that speed and rigor to healthcare: building agentic systems that reduce administrative drag, support clinical decision-making, and stay grounded in trust, safety, and real accountability for patient outcomes.
