Welcome!

I am currently a new software engineer at Meta Platforms, having recently graduated from Oregon State University with a Masters in Computer Science, focused on machine learning. Before that, I graduated top of my class from Gonzaga University with a BS in Computer Engineering. I love programming, just as much as I love skiing and fly fishing in the Pacific Northwest.

Although my work at Meta is confidential, in general I (1) enjoy working with physical hardware, and (2) am very interested in applying machine learning to important societal issues. For example, as part of the Information Processing Group at OSU, I researched deep networks and online learning algorithms that enable amputees and quadriplegics to control robotic hands.
