── BIO ───────────────────────────────────
I came into engineering sideways — a decade in healthcare sales and account management before retraining at Flatiron School in 2022. That path shapes how I work: I care as much about the people downstream of a system as the system itself.
Currently at JPMorgan Chase building data pipelines, eligibility systems, and resiliency testing and tooling, including an MCP server that brings schema validation into the IDE. I also volunteer as a technical interviewer at the NYC Tech Talent Pipeline, helping graduating CS students make the same jump I did.
