About

I'm a Software Development Engineer at AWS on the MediaLive team, where I've spent four years building live video processing infrastructure used by broadcasters worldwide.

My graduate work focused on signal processing and machine learning — I wrote my master's thesis in this space and built several research projects applying AI and ML techniques to real-world problems. Before AWS I worked in academic research, using data science and bioinformatics to study ADHD and genomics.

My next move is toward applied science — working at the intersection of rigorous ML research and production engineering. I'm interested in roles where I can build and ship AI systems, not just apply existing ones.
