Summary
Applied AI engineer, founder/operator, and education-program builder with senior-level ownership across 8+ years shipping customer-facing applications at Equitable. I use Codex and Claude Code as a daily engineering workflow, have built RAG/MCP visualizations to understand AI primitives, and my recent product work includes Vibe Storefront, Gridiron Rumble, and TrySignalHire. At Hack Upstate, I directed Careers in Code across 6 cohorts — giving me real experience with student outcomes, curriculum, operations, grants, and the stakes of education technology.
