About

Engineering leadership rooted in hands-on delivery.

I'm a Senior Full Stack Engineer based in Monroe, NJ, currently building clinical trial software at Medidata Solutions (a Dassault Systèmes company). Over 8+ years I've moved from hybrid mobile apps to manufacturing automation to distributed clinical data platforms — each step sharpening the same core skill: designing systems that stay reliable as they scale.

I'm known for owning end-to-end system design — API contracts, database schemas, and cross-team integration — and for translating ambiguous product problems into solutions that other engineering teams adopt as the standard. I care as much about the developer experience and code quality of a system as its uptime.
