About Me

I’m a 39‑year‑old millennial software engineer with a career built around designing, optimizing, and maintaining SQL databases. Data has always been my comfort zone — the place where logic, structure, and creativity meet — and I’ve spent years turning messy information into systems that actually make sense.
I graduated from Northeastern University with a 3.74 GPA (magna cum laude), an experience that shaped both my technical foundation and my work ethic. I’ve carried that same drive into every role since, whether I’m tuning a query, architecting a schema, or helping a team understand why their data behaves the way it does.
Outside of work, I’m a lifelong car enthusiast and motorcycle fanatic. Machines, speed, engineering — all of it has fascinated me since I was young. I used to travel constantly, chasing new roads and new experiences, and while life looks different now with a kid, that curiosity and sense of adventure never really left.
I’m also deeply interested in stock investing. Markets, strategy, long‑term thinking — it scratches the same analytical itch as engineering, just with a different set of tools.
At my core, I’m someone who loves to learn, build, and improve — whether it’s a database, a portfolio, or myself.
