Engineering
A B.S. in Computer Science at Tufts led to an engineering career in healthcare and genomics. Building production systems taught me to see architecture as a map of constraints, dependencies, failure modes, and consequences.
About
My background spans software engineering, healthcare, design, and now business—not because they are separate interests, but because each exposed a different part of the same problem: how do you turn technical possibility into something useful?
The trajectory
A B.S. in Computer Science at Tufts led to an engineering career in healthcare and genomics. Building production systems taught me to see architecture as a map of constraints, dependencies, failure modes, and consequences.
UI/UX work gave me another way to reason about complicated systems: through the information people see, the sequence of decisions they make, and the visual patterns that help them understand what matters.
My engineering work increasingly included requirements, workflow design, technical scopes, stakeholder alignment, architecture choices, and prioritization within technical delivery. I did not hold a PM title; the work made product questions unavoidable.
Northwestern's MMM joint degree—an MBA and MS in Design Innovation—is the next deliberate layer: a way to connect technical and design judgment to strategy, value, and organizational decisions.

Outside work
Guitar and music production are the strongest through-lines outside work. I also sail, snowboard, make graphics, and spend an unreasonable amount of attention on the NBA.
