About Me
Born and raised in Sunny San Diego, CA. I was first introduced to the world of Engineering when I joined my high schools robotics team. I quickly rose through the ranks and led the team through my junior and senior year. In 2011, I was a Dean’s List Award recipient at the National FIRST Robotics Competition. An award that goes to a select number of individuals who show exemplary leadership and technical expertise.
Later that year, I began my studies at the University of California San Diego, where I pursued a degree in Computer Science. The start of my career in Web Development came during my time at UCSD’s department of medicine, where I worked as an IT assistant, and Web Administator for the departments SharePoint site. When I wasn’t at work or studying I found time to work on a small side project with a few friends, a project which later came to be known as FlipStamp.
Shortly after I completed my third year at UCSD, FlipStamp recieved funding. So I put my studies on hold to run my new Startup as CEO alongside the company’s other co-founders. But as is the fate of many startups, FlipStamp shut its doors just shy of 2 years of operation.
Now, I work as a Software Engineer at Shapeways, an on-demand 3D printing service and marketplace. My responsibilities include developing and maintaining the company’s core web application and associated services, ensuring high performance and responsiveness for a global audience. I collaborate with product managers and other engineers to design and implement new features and enhancements, perform code reviews, and provide constructive feedback to peers. Additionally, I work closely with the DevOps team to manage deployment pipelines, troubleshoot and resolve complex technical issues, and lead efforts to optimize website and system performance.
In my spare time I’ve had the opportunity to get back into the FIRST community as a mentor for the El Segundo High School Robotics team, the P.O.T.A.T.O.E.S.
