About

I'm a curious engineer and lifelong tinkerer. I enjoy working on problems at the intersection of systems, automation, and reliability. In my current role at National Instruments (Emerson), I focus on making CI pipelines smoother and reducing friction for engineering teams.

Whether it's debugging a tricky build failure or automating repetitive workflows, I like building solutions that save time and scale well. My roots are in hands-on engineering - from IoT projects to CanSat competitions - and I'm currently expanding into AI/ML to build smarter systems.
