About Me

I worked at NASA on complex space instrument systems and led data pipelines for the ComPair mission. I now apply those skills at Himalayan Tranquility a family run ecommerce company where I support data and operations while completing a second masters in Information Systems Engineering and Management. Currently I am looking for new opportunities to work on systems at a larger scale.

I also tutor and explore philosophy art and persuasion in my free time.
