About
Data & software engineer — 8+ years building e-commerce and data platforms in industry, now with a master's in CS (AI).
I'm a data and software engineer with 8+ years of industry experience, most of it building large-scale e-commerce and data platforms — pipelines, ERP/CRM integrations, and cloud infrastructure that moved real revenue for real businesses.
I am completing my master's in Computer Science (AI track) at SUNY Binghamton, where I went deep on machine learning, robot perception, and data-science pipelines. The degree sharpened the theory; the industry years taught me how systems actually behave under load.
Outside work I read research papers and play games that stress-test hardware and reaction time.
Experience
Graduate Research Assistant
