Mathematician-Turned-Engineer | Systems Thinker + Code Architect | Built to Solve the Hard Stuff

Profile Summary

I'm a mathematician-turned-engineer with a passion for building smart, scalable solutions to hard problems. With a background in pure mathematics and years of experience across software engineering, modeling, and simulation, I bring a rare mix of theoretical depth and practical execution. Whether I'm working with partial differential equations, algorithmic simulations, or large-scale backend systems, I thrive where complexity lives—and where precision matters. My math training means I don’t just "use" tools—I understand them deeply. That foundation gives me the ability to tackle any quantitative problem, in any domain, even if I’ve never seen it before. I’ve led vaccine modeling at Merck, engineered control system simulations at Leidos, and built internal tools and automation platforms at Wolfram Research. I’ve worked in Mathematica, MATLAB, Python, C++, and beyond, always with a focus on clarity, rigor, and solving the real problem—not just the surface one. What sets me apart is my ability to quickly learn new systems, adapt abstract ideas to real-world use cases, and communicate across technical and non-technical teams. I don't just write code—I architect solutions. If it’s complex, technical, or ambiguous, that’s usually where I do my best work.
