Hello, world!

About Me

Originally from NJ, I'm currently living in San Francisco working as a Software Engineer for an education startup called Cambly. I started on the growth team, built payments and revenue recognition code responsible for handling 100 million ARR, a transcription pipeline processing 60 million minutes of audio a month, and am now conducting the company AI LLM hype-train (and semi-secretly using it as an excuse to use boring old supervised learning)

What's an Ansomiac?

Someone who can't smell. I was born with congenital anosmia. Giving it a cool name makes it sound like a superpower except all it means is that I can clean your smelly fridge for you.

Synchrony

Winner of my University Department's "Best Senior Project Award". Synchrony was a before-its-time service that let you legally sync media playback on Spotify. Used Spotify's local playback API and a Django server we set up to maintain each lobby's playback state.

WorldView

WorldView was a project I came up with and worked on for my Software Engineering course (ya know, the one with all the UML diagrams and design documents). Sadly, the project never ended up in quite the completed state I'd wanted it. But I think the idea is a noble one. WorldView was designed to query the same URL from various locations across the globe and compare the outputs to detect if a news site is censoring or catering content for a certain audience. WorldView was hoping to make bubbles and catered propaganda more difficult.
