Designing tech that simplifies education.

About Me

I am a self-taught full stack developer who believes in creating social change through tech. After graduating from Princeton University ('11) with a degree in Operations Research and Financial Engineering, I started my career at the NYC Department of Education, where I became really passionate about finding ways to improve education. Since leaving the DOE, I have started my own education company called STAFFS Prep, received an MBA degree from Wharton, and am now working on building software for NJ public schools.
In my free time I like playing soccer or tennis, writing and recording my own music, or just reading a new book.
