I lead a team at DraftKings working on the user sessions management system.

I studied computer science at the University of Minnesota, Twin Cities, and graduated in December 2020. Most of my project work there was real-time graphics and simulation — cloth solvers, fluid fields, particle systems, volumetric raymarching — alongside deep learning research in Dr. Stephen Guy's Applied Motion Lab, where we trained a model to tell legitimate smiles from voluntary ones in video.

During college I also interned at Veritas as a DevOps developer, integrating Google's AddressSanitizer into the NetBackup build and test pipeline, where it is still used to catch memory bugs before they ship.
