Engineer & Creative

I build software that actually works. When I'm not at the keyboard, I'm filling sketchbooks and chasing sunsets across time zones.

Building things that matter.

I'm a Software Engineer at ADP in Parsippany, NJ — currently an Application Developer after being promoted from Associate earlier in my tenure. I build full-stack systems end to end, from architecture to production.

My biggest recent project is a GenAI Automation Tool I designed and shipped from scratch — React/TypeScript frontend, Java Spring Boot backend — that replaced legacy testing systems across ADP and cut automation time by 50%. I also did the fine-tuning work on GPT-4 and Meta Llama 2 that powers it.

I hold an MS in Computer Science from Rutgers University (Machine Learning focus, 3.8 GPA). I care about code that scales, interfaces people want to use, and AI that actually delivers in production — not just in notebooks.

When I'm not writing code, I'm sketching in notebooks or getting lost in a new country.

A selection of what I've built. More in progress.

LinkedIn AI Agent

A stateful AI agent that manages your LinkedIn presence end-to-end — reads your live profile, learns your career goals, tracks post performance, and advises on content strategy. Not a chatbot: a real agent with tools, RAG-powered memory, and multi-step reasoning.

Instagram AI Agent

A personal AI tool that scores photos using Gemini vision, shows numeric edit values (exposure, contrast, saturation), and generates RAG-powered captions trained on 50 posts from top Instagram accounts. Built for the full creative workflow — score, edit in Lightroom, caption, post.

I sketch when code isn't enough. Pencil on paper, no undo button.
