I grew up in a typical suburban neighborhood a few miles south of historic Saratoga Springs, NY, where I was always drawn to building and making things — whether that meant drawing, constructing elaborate worlds out of Legos and K'Nex, or, as I got a little older, editing videos I'd shot with my brothers and producing music in FL Studio.
A few technology classes in high school gave me my first real taste of web development and game design, and by the time I applied to college I knew I wanted to keep building things — I just didn't know what that would look like yet. I got into my dream school, the University of Notre Dame, off the waitlist, and eventually settled on computer science as a major. It wasn't always an easy fit, but I stuck with it, and in 2014 I graduated and moved to Manhattan to start my career as an Application Developer at JPMorgan Chase.
These days, I live in New York City with my wife — we met through work, went from friends to a couple, and got married on Long Island in May 2025, which remains the best day of my life. Outside of work, my creative energy mostly goes toward music (more on that below), craft beer, watch collecting, and, more recently, reading. This past June, I started writing about the first two of those on my blog, Beats, Brews, & Bezels — my newest outlet for exploring the things I geek out about when I'm not writing software.

As an engineer, I care most about the intersection of well-architected code and genuinely good user experience. It's easy to over-index on one or the other — code that's technically elegant but painful to use, or an interface that looks great but is held together by nothing underneath. The hard, worthwhile part is building solutions that are both functional and thoughtfully designed, and that balance is what I try to bring to every project.
My career started at JPMorgan Chase in 2014, where I joined as an Application Developer after a summer internship the year before. I spent time across a few teams in the Consumer & Community Banking line of business, including an early stint auditing applications for security and performance issues in a project-manager-style role — not the work I expected to be doing, but it gave me an unusually broad view of the organization and helped me build a network of developers and managers I'd rely on later. I eventually moved into a full development role, writing AngularJS components for Chase Connect, an internal CRM platform used by business bankers to manage customers and prospects. A few years in, the team began migrating that aging platform to Salesforce, and I dove into learning and getting certified on it, eventually helping lead the design and rollout of the first phase of the new org.
In July 2019, I moved to WeWork, where I continued building out Salesforce solutions — including some of the newer Lightning Web Components — and wrote a number of complex automation triggers in an already sprawling org.
After a little over a year, I decided to make a bigger move: in September 2020, I joined Copilot, a small Salesforce-focused consultancy, as a Technical Architect. Copilot ended up being where I grew the most as an engineer — over five and a half years, I led the design and implementation of projects for venture capital and financial services clients, and it's the job I'm proudest of and enjoyed the most. One project stands out in particular: I built a Salesforce application that replicated spreadsheet-style grid functionality, similar to Excel, directly inside the platform. It became a genuine differentiator for the firm — something we used as a selling point when pitching new clients — and it's a good example of the kind of work I like best: solving a real usability problem, not just a technical one.
In February 2026, I joined Millennium as a Software Engineer on the Salesforce team within the Fixed Income, Commodities, and Core Technology organization, where I continue building thoughtful, usable tools on the Salesforce platform — this time from inside the financial services industry itself.

Music has always been a big part of my life. I first discovered the impact it can have on people — and how much I loved making it — in elementary school choir, and once I found digital audio workstations like FL Studio in high school, I knew I wanted to produce.
My production has moved through a lot of genres over the years, mostly following whatever artists I was into at the time. My earliest experiments in high school were directly influenced by Basshunter. At the University of Notre Dame, a friend and fellow producer introduced me to dubstep, and I spent a few years trying my hand at it, though I never quite landed on the right sound.
After graduating in 2014 and moving to New York City to start my career, I kept producing as a nights-and-weekends hobby. I got swept up in the Tropical House wave of 2015, emulating Kygo and Matoma, and once that trend cooled off, I moved toward hip-hop, working on tracks inspired by Wiz Khalifa and produced by Id Labs.
In 2020, I released my first EP, a five-song project called Another Sunday Afternoon, built on the lo-fi hip-hop and jazz-influenced sound I'd been leaning into, inspired by artists like Philanthrope, SwuM, and Blue Wednesday. Everything else I've released has been singles — including my favorite thing I've ever written, "Promises," a song I wrote for my wife that debuted at our wedding.
The past couple of years have been quieter on the release front, as life and my career have taken up more of my bandwidth, but I still sit down at the DAW whenever inspiration strikes. This past June, that same creative itch led me to start writing instead of producing — my blog, Beats, Brews, & Bezels, has become a new outlet for exploring music, craft beer, and watches, the things I nerd out about outside of work.
