I’m a software engineer at UBS, bringing an engineering foundation into product management. I build with users in mind, from deciding what matters to making it work.
From choosing the problem to building the solution. Products and experiments I’ve taken on myself.
Mobile product / In development
Kavanah
A Jewish prayer companion I’m building for the moments between everything else.
Offline prayer, on-device prayer times, and a private daily practice. Designed and built from the first screen to the underlying services.

ONHAND
From “something broke” to finding the right help.
A guided repair experience, from describing the problem to choosing a specialist. Built around both sides of the job: the person who needs help and the person who provides it.

Publications
Research in knowledge-guided AI and agent coordination, from my time at the USC AI Institute.
A knowledge-guided approach to planning tasks and coordinating different kinds of AI agents. KiMO turns domain knowledge into workflows that experts can inspect and refine, demonstrated through a manufacturing use case.
A little more personal
An engineer’s perspective. A product mindset.
I’m a software engineer and a University of South Carolina graduate. I started in a production codebase at Empowered Buildings, spent three years at the USC AI Institute, and helped build Qatalyst Health as a founding engineer.
Today I’m at UBS in New York, and I’m working toward a move into product management. I want to bring the judgment I’ve developed as an engineer to understanding users, choosing priorities, and shaping what a team builds.
At Qatalyst, conversations with nurses and care coordinators helped shape the features I built. That connection between a user’s workflow and a technical decision is the part of the work I want to do more of.
Outside work, that curiosity turns into projects: a prayer companion, a playlist tool, a student-housing agent, and whatever I can’t stop thinking about next.
User workflows, requirements, roadmap planning, prioritization, prototyping, demos, and Agile/Scrum. Connecting product decisions to technical tradeoffs, informed by work with clinical staff and business stakeholders.
AI & machine learning
LLMs, RAG pipelines, CNNs, sentiment agents, XGBoost, and AI evaluation. Research in knowledge graphs, Q&A systems, and deception detection; production work in healthcare, finance, and agriculture.
Full-stack engineering
React, React Native, Django, Node.js, Flask, Java, JavaScript, TypeScript, and SQL. Interfaces, services, and everything between.
Data & cloud
AWS, Azure, MongoDB, DynamoDB, OpenSearch, Databricks, and Denodo. Building and maintaining the data behind the product.
