About
First-generation college student. Solo healthcare SaaS developer. Based in New York.
Bio
I build software the way I was taught to solve problems — from first principles, with whatever I have, until it works. Over the past year, that approach has produced twelve production applications, a hundred repositories, and nearly three thousand commits. More importantly, it replaced sixty-one thousand dollars of enterprise software for a healthcare agency that couldn't afford to keep paying for tools that didn't understand their work.
I'm the first in my family to go to college. Stony Brook University, computer science, final semester. I was selected for Bottom Line— a six-year program that bets on first-generation students and stays with them through graduation. They gave me a coach and a framework. I brought the rest.
When a pediatric therapy agency needed software, they didn't hire a team. They hired me. I became responsible for everything — time tracking, practice management, clinical data collection, case management, billing, compliance. Six applications. Four agencies. Two hundred users who depend on what I built to do their jobs. The children on their caseloads depend on it too, though they'll never know my name.
Before I wrote my first line of JavaScript, I wrote C. Memory allocators. Concurrent game servers. POSIX job schedulers. I wanted to understand how computers actually work before I started telling them what to build. That foundation shows up in everything I make — I think about memory, about concurrency, about what happens at the edges.
I coach Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu at Stony Brook — no-gi, thirty students, twice a week. And I read philosophy the way some people read self-help: not to sound interesting at dinner parties, but because Nietzsche and Marcus Aurelius and Camus were honest about how hard it is to live deliberately. That honesty is more useful than any framework.
