About Me
I was five the first time I used a computer—just playing around in Microsoft Paint. It felt like magic. That moment sparked a curiosity in me that’s never really gone away, and it’s what started my lifelong love for technology.
Years later, I began studying Computer Science at the University of South Florida. I knew I wanted to build something meaningful—something that would matter and improve quality of life. That curiosity gradually led me into teaching, research, development—and, over time, into roles where I could help guide technology efforts that support thousands of people behind the scenes.
My early college days were spent teaching Foundations of Engineering as a freshman lab assistant, and that’s when I discovered something special—how much I genuinely love helping others grow. Being a Teacher’s Assistant didn’t feel like work; it felt like a professional hobby that fueled both purpose and joy.
Soon after, I joined a machine learning research lab where I proposed using environmental sensors to help customers navigate grocery stores—merging real-world problems with technology. Around the same time, I started working in the university’s IT department as an Appian developer, building low-code platforms for USF’s medical college. It showed me how thoughtful, well-designed software can quietly improve someone’s day—and how building with the user in mind, at every step, can turn complex systems into something intuitive and genuinely helpful.
After graduation, I continued working with Appian in fast-paced environments. I was fortunate to be promoted first to Appian Team Lead, and later to Appian Solutions Engineer, guiding strategy and leading technical implementation efforts for enterprise-level low-code platforms. In these roles, I had the chance to work closely with cross-functional teams, learn from different perspectives, and contribute to solutions that thoughtfully balanced what users needed with what the business and regulators required.
As my interest in systems thinking and product strategy grew, I transitioned into program and product management roles—where I could connect the dots between technology, people, and process. Today, I work as a Senior Technical Program Manager at Bank of America, leading a $30M+ portfolio of platforms that serve over 50,000 employees. I’ve led the implementation of automation frameworks, redesigned regulatory systems, and secured multi-million-dollar investments to drive meaningful impact across enterprise operations.
I’m also a Graduate Teaching Assistant at Georgia Tech, where I continue to blend my love for teaching with cutting-edge tools in AI, automation, and human-computer interaction. Across every role, I’ve found meaning in building systems that support people—whether through better software, better teams, or better ways of learning.
Thanks for stopping by. I’m always happy to connect, collaborate, or simply chat about building a better future with empathy and code.
