Software developer at Amazon in a role that touches most of my major interests -- research, probability, technology and economics. In particular, my team works with operations research scientists to model and optimize buying of all our products in warehouses across the globe. Outside of work, I spend my time weightlifting, rowing, reading news in computer vision and data science. Enjoy tinkering with my Arduino and Raspberry Pi with robotics and home automation projects, as well. Don't hesitate to contact me if you have met me in passing, attended school with me, or simply find something in my profile interesting.
