About

I'm a generalist software engineer with over 20 years of experience and a master's degree in computer engineering from Cornell. I've built two successful businesses and gone from 0 to 1 on numerous, extremely challenging ideas. Here are a few examples of projects I've led over the years:

* Built a cross-platform, fault-tolerant video recording and uploading tool along with a transcoding and streaming pipeline.

* Developed an AI chat assistant (prior to the release of GPT) capable of guiding teachers through a highly-personalized and interactive coaching process.

* Designed and deployed a large-scale advertising network for domain-name traffic. Names were matched with a custom NLP model.

* Researched the initial compiler optimizations for cache preloading in the first hyper-threaded Intel CPUs.

My approach is best suited for those who are working to improve while developing an existing project (either inside or outside of work). I find it much easier to explain why you need to learn something within the context of living code, rather than within the artificial constraints of training puzzles.

David is an amazing mentor. I got so much better at algorithms and Javascript in general because of him. He is the person who was able to make me enjoy doing algorithms, which is a feat of its own. Highly recommended!

Dave was a great mentor. He helped me improve so much on my coding skills. He always provided great advice, and I have learned a lot of best coding practices from him.
