Staff Software Engineer
I’m an Atlanta-based Software Engineer with a deep background in Visual Design. Most recently, I’ve been in building the next generation of AI-powered email editors.
I’m currently building Flock, a fun take on the frontier of AI-powered collaborative email editing for humans and agents.
My Story
I’m an Atlanta-based Staff Software Engineer with over a decade of experience in visual design. My professional journey is a transformation of skills starting as a Drilling Engineer at Chevron, where I learned the discipline of high-stakes problem solving, while running a graphic design business on the side. In 2019, I fully merged these worlds, moving into Frontend Engineering at Dartmouth College and BlueChip Financial to build delightful, type-safe experiences using React and TypeScript.
In 2019, I fully embraced my love for design and problem solving and joined Dartmouth College. There, I used my design and emerging Frontend Engineering skills to improve their web platform as part of the Web Services Team.
In 2022, I joined BlueChip Financial as a Frontend Engineer. There, I used modern web technologies like like React and TypeScript to enrich the lives of our users. Today, at Intuit Mailchimp, my focus has evolved from improving the email editor product experience to helping to define the next generation of AI-powered editing experiences. I feel so privileged that I get to combine my my unique skill sets to build the frontier of agent-human interfaces at scale.
I’m currently building Flock, a fun take on the frontier of AI-powered collaborative email editing for humans and agents.
