## About

I am a Senior Software Engineer at Capital One, where I am building the future of financial services with cutting-edge technologies and innovative solutions. I have a passion for creating tools that make the internet a better platform for human progress.

Previously, I worked as a Web Engineer at Betterment and Full-Stack Engineer at Citi, where I planned and implemented features that improved user experience, performance, and security for web and mobile banking applications. I have a solid foundation in research from the Human-Centered Computing Lab at the University of Florida, where I co-authored two papers on how digital media influences human cognition and behavior. I also completed an MBA Essentials program from the London School of Economics and Political Science, where I mastered the core skills and concepts of business administration and management.
