Now
At Block I work on the screening and investigations side of compliance: the services that decide whether a person or business needs a closer look, and the tools investigators use once they do. A lot of the job is migrations — moving critical, regulated systems onto new foundations without anyone feeling the ground shift.
I also spend time helping teams get real value out of AI-assisted development, while keeping a firm grip on the fundamentals underneath.
Before
- Microsoft — Tooling for Windows servicing and delivery, including forecasting when builds would land.
- Comcast — Started as a co-op; ended up running monitoring tools and moving infrastructure to AWS.
- Drexel University — Computer science, then a master’s in cybersecurity.

Side projects, experiments and old tools live on GitHub.
