After graduating from UW–Madison in 2020 with a dual degree in Computer Science and Computer Engineering, he shipped production Java services in finance and later contributed to Amazon CodeWhisperer’s data pipelines, model hosting, and RAG features. More recently he worked on agentic SDKs and sandboxed agent environments at AWS and now focuses on security AI and automation at Robinhood.
