I'm a software engineer with a passion for building elegant solutions to complex problems. My work spans across modern web technologies, content management systems, automation, and machine learning applications.
Professional Background
In my current role I specialize in automatation, designing and implementing automated solutions that streamline workflows, enhance data-driven decision making, and leverage AI to solve complex business challenges. Adept at building robust, scalable systems that integrate seamlessly with existing processes, and passionate about applying the latest advancements in machine learning and AI to drive innovation and efficiency.
In a previous role I specialized in digital experience platforms, particularly Optimizely (formerly Episerver) and Contentful. Over the years, I've helped organizations transform their digital presence through thoughtful architecture, clean code, and user-centered design.
My technical expertise includes:
- Data & ML: Machine learning applications and data analysis
- Content Management Systems: Deep experience with Optimizely CMS, Contentful, and headless architectures
- Web Development: JavaScript/TypeScript, React, Vue, Node.js, and modern web frameworks
- Cloud & DevOps: Azure, CI/CD pipelines, and deployment automation
Academic Background
Purdue University Master of Science - Economics 2022 - 2025
Purdue University Master of Science - Computer Science 2011 - 2013
Purdue University Bachelor of Science - Economics & Computer Science 2006 - 2011
My academic journey at Purdue University provided me with a unique interdisciplinary foundation, combining rigorous training in economic theory and quantitative analysis with deep technical expertise in computer science. This dual perspective has proven invaluable throughout my career, enabling me to approach problems with both analytical rigor and technical innovation.
The economics curriculum equipped me with strong statistical analysis skills, econometric modeling, and a systems-thinking approach to complex problems. Meanwhile, the computer science program provided comprehensive training in algorithms, data structures, software architecture, and engineering principles.
This combination continues to inform my work today, particularly in roles involving data-driven decision making, automation, and building systems that deliver measurable business value.
