About Me
From Politics to
Software Engineering.
I am a Computer Science Master's student at Georgia Tech focusing on game development, computing systems, and artificial intelligence. Currently, I work as a Software Developer at M.C. Dean, where I build full-stack tools that streamline complex workflows for thousands of users.
Prior to this I worked in American politics, supporting politicians like President Obama and Senator Markey. Throughout my career in Washington, I ran issue campaigns for Super PACs, passed the Respect for Marriage Act, and put multiple politicians into office.
In my free time, I love to make and play games. When I'm not at the gym or putting together a terrible fantasy football roster, I can be found prototyping new game mechanics, watching GDC design talks, or dying in Hades II.
