Systems Engineer, Software Architect, and ex-Founder focused on distributed systems, high performance applications, novel financial technologies, and a bunch of random stuff in-between (and not!).
I'm currently hacking with the Modal systems team, building an (awesome) GPU-enabled cloud platform. Many of my projects are open-source, check out my GitHub profile. Previously, I worked at Entropic Labs (Founder), Kujira, Terraform Labs, and Bloomberg, and earned a Masters's in CS from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign.
I'm always happy to chat about anything related to distributed systems, high performance engineering, cloud computing, FinTech, or any other stimulating space. Feel free to reach out.
