What I'm Working On

Right now, I'm deep in the backend architecture world at Oaklet, where I'm building systems that need to be both scalable and secure. There's something really satisfying about designing infrastructure that just works - the kind of code that other engineers can read six months later and immediately understand what's happening.

At the same time, I've just wrapped up my work with Arc24 Capital, diving into the intersection of finance and tech. It's fascinating how similar the mental models are between building reliable software systems and analyzing credit markets both require thinking about risk, optimization, and building robust models that can handle uncertainty.

I'm also serving as Vice President of Operations with the Michigan Investment Group, where we research trading strategies and credit markets. It's where my engineering background meets financial strategy, and I love the challenge of translating complex market dynamics into actionable insights!

What I'm Learning

Backend Architecture

Going deeper into AWS services, distributed systems patterns, and database optimization. Currently exploring event-driven architectures and how to build systems that can scale gracefully.

Financial Systems

Understanding how traditional financial infrastructure works and where technology can make things better, faster, or more accessible. The intersection of fintech and systems design is endlessly interesting.

Life Outside Code

I'm trying to bring together what I love about engineering and financial strategy in everything I do. Whether that's building cleaner code, understanding market dynamics better, or just figuring out how to explain complex systems in simple terms.

Outside the screen, you’ll probably find me on my yoga mat, deep in a poker game with friends, or making a mess in the kitchen testing new recipes. Lately, I’m obsessed with gochujang eggs because they’re spicy, savory, and weirdly comforting.

I’m also a huge music person making playlists is basically my love language. I’ve been learning the ropes of DJing and hoping to dive deeper into it next year. Catch me curating the vibe before I code it.
