About
About me
I studied computer science at Tufts. I started at Human Care Systems, building patient-support software, then spent five years on the Broad Institute's Genomics Platform.
My work at Broad covered data pipelines, laboratory workflows, clinical reporting, and customer data delivery; as my role grew, I also took on more responsibility for requirements, technical planning, architecture, and coordination across teams.
That gradual shift led me to the MMM program, and I am now pursuing product roles where I can use my engineering background without moving away from customer needs or the details of implementation.
Outside work, I play blues and neo-soul guitar, record music in Logic, snowboard, sail when I can, and spend too much time thinking about NBA rosters.
