// 01 — About

Experienced software engineer, educator, and researcher.

Based in New York. Building AI Agents at Meta, teaching with CodePath, and publishing on the side.

I'm a software engineer on the VR AI team at Meta, where I lead eval infrastructure for our agentic voice assistant and build the surrounding data and inference systems. Previously, four years at Microsoft on Meeting Services — shipping Athena, Smart Incident Management, and the Mesh × Teams integration. I teach with CodePath on the side to help college students across the country break into tech, and my research spans applied ML, materials science, and CS education.
