A New Englander who is usually making something.

I’m New England from start to finish. I spent my summers in Nyes Neck on Cape Cod, went to Tufts just outside Boston, and now call southern New Hampshire home. I love places with a little history and character: an old neighborhood, a diner that hasn’t changed in decades, or anywhere near the water.

Outside of work, you will usually find me cooking, at the gym, out on a hike or in the water. I love good food, a good cocktail and any excuse to have people over (and yes, I put way too much thought into the details of a party). There is almost always music playing somewhere in the background, and Donny, my orange cat, is never far away.

I am happiest when I am making something or chasing down a new idea. I care a lot about my family, my friends and the places that made me. I’m curious by nature, a little obsessive about the projects I love, and rarely bored.

“Engineer by day. Builder after hours.”

The short version.

Education

  • Tufts University

    B.S. Computer Sciencecum laude

    Sep 2022 to May 2026

Off the clock

  • In the kitchen

    Cooking, baking and feeding whoever shows up

  • Outside somewhere

    Hiking, swimming, or anywhere near the water

  • Playing host

    Good food, cocktails, music and a full house

  • Cape Cod bound

    Nyes Neck will always feel like home

  • Donny duty

    Life with one very involved orange cat

Meet Donny.

He has never written a line of code, but he has sat on the keyboard for most of mine.

Then

Donny as a kitten in a checkered collar, sitting on a desk and looking into the camera next to a guitar headstock.
First day on the job.
Donny as a kitten held up in one hand against a bright blue sky, mouth open mid-meow.
Loud from day one.

Now

Donny grown up, lounging on a window seat with one paw stretched along the sill, gazing outside.
Monitoring production.
Donny grown up, belly-up on a hardwood floor in a doorway, paws in the air.
Out of office.

Public playlists, mixes and whatever is on repeat this week.

What I reach for, and why.

Scoped to the things I've actually shipped with. The production work above is where each of these earned its place.

Product engineering

The layer people actually touch.

  • TypeScript
  • JavaScript
  • React
  • Next.js
  • HTML
  • CSS
  • Responsive design

Backend & data

State, identity and the contracts between them.

  • Node.js patterns
  • REST & API routes
  • PostgreSQL
  • Drizzle ORM
  • Database design
  • Authentication & session design

Content & commerce

Systems a non-developer can run after launch.

  • Sanity CMS
  • Printful integration
  • Formspree
  • Content modeling
  • E-commerce architecture

Maps & discovery

Putting things where people can find them.

  • Leaflet
  • Geocoding & data synchronization
  • Location-aware interfaces

Also working in

Languages outside the front of the stack.

  • Python
  • SQL
  • Java
  • C

Engineering workflow

How the work gets shipped and kept honest.

  • Git & version control
  • Agile collaboration
  • CI concepts
  • Testing
  • Linting & type checking
  • Vercel deployment

What I’m exploring.

01

AI-assisted development

How much of the distance between an idea and a working product AI actually removes, and which parts of engineering judgement it does not.

02

AI and cybersecurity

The new attack surfaces AI creates, how it changes vulnerability discovery, and where it can carry real weight in defensive automation. An active interest, and the direction I am reading and building toward.

03

Small products, real communities

Focused digital products that make a specific group of people better off (a neighborhood, a taproom, a table of friends) rather than software built for everyone and no one.
