About

As a Software Engineer at McGraw Hill, I contribute to the development of AI-powered academic tools, including a writing and QA assistant, leveraging Python, Go, and containerized microservices deployed on AWS Kubernetes. My work emphasizes secure, scalable solutions using REST/gRPC APIs, Kafka-based event processing, and OAuth2/JWT security protocols. A graduate of the University of Tampa with a Master's in Information Technology and Management, I bring a strong foundation in software engineering and applied AI. My focus is on creating innovative, data-driven platforms to enhance efficiency and deliver impactful solutions in the education technology space.
