📍 From the bustling streets of NYC to the tech hubs of New Orleans, my career journey is anything but ordinary. Born and raised in Connecticut, with stops in Los Angeles, Hong Kong, and several other global cities, I’ve embraced a multitude of cultural and professional experiences. Starting off with a deep interest in programming and tech, I initially explored computer sciences before my curiosity pivoted towards the culinary arts during my studies at Pitzer College, Claremont.👨‍🍳 Venturing into the culinary world, I quickly rose through the ranks, becoming a chef at renowned establishments like Aquavit and Falai in Manhattan, and later overseeing operations as a Corporate Chef for major hospitality groups, managing teams up to 120 and handling yearly revenues upwards of $17 million.🔁 The challenges of COVID-19 prompted a pivotal shift back to my first love—technology. Diving deep into software development, I now leverage my robust leadership, problem-solving skills, and operational expertise from my culinary career to excel in tech. I’m currently a Software Engineer at Scale AI, fine-tuning AI models and enhancing coding tools, while also freelancing on various innovative web app projects.💻 Skilled in Python, JavaScript, TypeScript, and an array of modern web technologies, I am passionate about building solutions that bridge functionality with user-friendly design. Whether fine-tuning AI at Google DeepMind or conceptualizing web platforms for community engagement, I apply a chef’s attention to detail and a coder’s logic to every project.🎓 With a background in Political Science and a relentless pursuit of knowledge in tech and machine learning, I am keen on continuous learning and applying this knowledge to real-world applications, constantly exploring the intersection of technology, data, and user experience.
