Building intelligent systems at the intersection of software, science, and automation.
About
From the battlefield to the lab to the codebase.
I'm a software engineer based in Seattle with a background that spans military service, molecular genetics, bioinformatics, and AI systems. I hold an M.S. in Computer Science from Northeastern University and a B.S. in Molecular Genetics from Washington State University.
My career started as a Combat Engineer in the U.S. Army, where I led route clearance missions across two deployments. After transitioning to biotech at NanoString Technologies, I moved from manufacturing RNA probes to building automation tools, then into managing bioinformatics pipelines and modernizing data infrastructure on AWS.
Most recently, I've been building autonomous AI agents — from computer-use systems at Runloop AI to Salesforce integrations and MCP server architectures. I'm drawn to work where automation, data integrity, and real-world impact intersect.
