I am a recent graduate of Georgia Institute of Technology where I recieved my B.S. in Computer Science with a concentration in Information Internetworks and Media. Currently, I am working as a Software Engineer in San Francisco. A few of my hobbies include: reading things with words, listening to podcasts, petting random dogs, and visual art. I enjoy computer science because I find it to be a hybrid form of art. I use logic to figure out a solution to a problem and I use creativity to choose the best way to implement a solution. I wrote an article discussing why creativity is critical to success as a software developer which made it to the front page of Hacker News and was reposted by a few technical blogs.
I currently work on integrating microservices into open source an open source Platform as a Service. Previously I worked at Mailchimp where I migrated an RPC system to gRPC and integrated it with a Django application. I have also worked at Ultimate Software doing devops work in order to ensure high availability of the PCF deployment platform and at The Home Depot where I developed a proof of concept of a single backend system supporting multiple store fronts.

Implemented machine learning algorithms in a Python application to better predict bus arrival and departure times based on data captured in a live MySQL database for Georgia Tech's busing system.
I have worked for Georgia Tech's communications department where I helped create content for their social media pages. Previously, I worked at Chil & Co., which is a creative agency located in Atlanta and for fourofour.co. Here are some of my photos. To see more of my work, checkout my Instagram.
