About Me

Who I am

I'm a Mid-Level Software Engineer who has successfully delivered mission-critical SSO and user authentication APIs at enterprise scale with a great team, achieving key migrations in a record 11 months. My technical stack includes Node.js/TypeScript and Python, complemented by extensive AWS cloud and DevOps experience, including Terraform for infrastructure and TeamCity for CI/CD.

Driven by a passion for education and AI, and leveraging insights from my research psychology background, I'm currently advancing my skills in AI and machine learning. My personal passion project, 'The Pocket Professor,' is an AI-powered learning assistant designed to provide personalized learning guides, blending technical expertise with pedagogical insights to enhance self-taught learning journeys.

AI Tutor App

The Pocket Professor (coming soon!)

My AI tutor app serves as a mock graduate-level college professor, creating customized learning plans to provide users with a personalized syllabus on any subject they wish to learn!

Using natural language processing tools and machine learning concepts, I designed the app to appeal to my fellow autodidacts on their self-taught learning journey, breaking down their learning path with week-by-week lessons based on their skill level on the subject (novice, intermediate, expert), and their time committment.

Personalized Learning Plans

Creates custom study schedules and materials based on individual learning goals

Expert Guidance

Provides graduate-level explanations and answers complex questions with depth

Adaptive Learning

Continuously evolves based on user performance and feedback
