Executive Summary
Systems/full-stack software engineer with an MS/BS in Computer Science & Engineering and a BA in Economics from UC Santa Cruz. I specialize in low-level systems profiling (C/C++), cloud infrastructure (Golang, Kubernetes, etcd), full-stack development (TypeScript, JavaFX), and air-gapped Commercial Off-The-Shelf (COTS) compliance software.
