Work

I am currently a Staff Software Engineer at DataCebo, an early stage startup. We enable businesses to create synthetic data that closely resembles real data but without any of the privacy or security concerns.

Previously, I worked at Feature Labs as the first engineering hire, where I helped scale the team from 3 to 10 people. I built Tempo, a ML platform with an intuitive UI for predictive analytics to be used concurrently by multiple developers. During the summer, I managed interns to further develop our open-source library, Featuretools. Additionally, I worked directly with customers to develop custom ML solutions. Alteryx acquired us in 2019.

At Alteryx, I created Woodwork, a data typing library with over 6M downloads and premium primitives. These played crucial roles in the commercial launch of Alteryx Machine Learning. As an engineering manager, I led a team of 6 engineers to develop CoPilot, a generative AI chatbot for Alteryx Designer, which enhanced workflow creation with intelligent recommendations.

In addition, I worked at Nod where I successfully destroyed 5 drones.

Academic

I graduated magna cum laude from Wake Forest University with a B.S. in Computer Science and a minor in Chemistry & Neuroscience.

Personal

When I am not focused on my professional endeavors, I like running, weightlifting, and board games. Some of my favorites include Splendor, Carcassonne, Century: Spice Road, and JAWS. I am also a huge presidential history buff and am always looking for book recommendations about American history.
