I'm a curious , design-focused , auto-didactic, full-stack software engineer based in Brooklyn, NY! I'm currently a UI engineer at Adaptive Financial where I'm building a real-time finance platform built on top of a web-socket connected, highly secure, fast, distributed system where the UI is made with TypeScript, React, Material UI, TanStack's React Table, React Query, React Hook Form, and some other goodies. I'm passionate about writing loosely coupled, maintainable, performant code, with an emphasis on intuitive design and accessibility.

This last year I've seen myself grow as a full-stack engineer, as I've spent a serious amount of time reading java code, learning design patterns, the advantages and security concerns of cloud technologies, and the ins and outs of distributed systems that handle lots of data.

I've recently spent a large swath of free time studying Machine Learning and AI safety, as I believe it is the defining technology of our time.

This year I made a new years resolution to read a book in all of the major scientific disciplines. It's been a goal for myself in the last couple of years to try and have as deep and accurate model of the world as I can, and this is a piece of that journey. To hold myself accountable (and because I find it useful to refer to) I will include all of the books I read and would recommend in a blog post. I hope this blog will start to fill up with articles I'm writing to understand technology, both software engineering and in general, and the world. I am not under the impression that anyone will read it, but by making them publicly accessible, I hope to motivate myself to write. To understand how I think. I've never been someone who writes very much, but I think it is an incredibly valuable skill to cultivate. Not the writing in and of itself, but the exploration into one's own thinking that is concrete and mulled over.

So feel free to reach out. And stay tuned!
