Software Engineer II — One North
I build performant, thoughtfully designed web products that make complex systems feel simple. At One North, I work alongside designers and strategists to ship enterprise-grade digital experiences for high-impact clients.
I graduated from the University of Michigan with a B.S.E. in Computer Science Engineering, where I built everything from search engines and robotic simulators to machine learning models. Previously I interned at Harman International on the automotive voice-recognition systems team.
