I'm a Computer Science student at Colby College ('27, AI concentration) who builds full-stack software with a deep end in AI and cloud infrastructure.
At Google, I shipped an officially published Terraform resource for deploying generative AI models on Vertex AI: public, documented, in production for enterprises today, and the key that unblocked a $19.2M ARR opportunity for Google Cloud partners. The summer before, I built an Apache Beam transform that processes 3B+ CSV records an hour on Google Cloud Dataflow. Right now I'm on the Platform AI team at Medidata, building LLM pipelines with frontier models on Amazon Bedrock that extract structured data from clinical trial protocols.
Across all of it, what motivates me most is shipping things people actually use, whether that's frontend, backend, or the pipelines underneath.

The pipeline so far
What I shipped at each stop: two Google internships, an AI platform for clinical trials, a startup I co-founded, and the classroom where it all started.
Medidata Solutions
stage: extractData Science Intern · Platform AI
May 2026 → Present · New York, NY
Building LLM pipelines with frontier models on Amazon Bedrock for a platform powering 37,000+ clinical trials worldwide.
- Engineering LLM pipelines that extract and resolve structured data from unstructured clinical trial protocol documents, automating the parsing of Schedule of Assessments tables, footnotes, and procedural metadata.

stage: deploySoftware Engineering Intern · Vertex AI
May 2025 → Aug 2025 · Sunnyvale, CA
Shipped public infrastructure for deploying generative AI models at scale on Google Cloud.
- Engineered an officially published Terraform resource in Go for deploying generative AI models on Vertex AI, unblocking a $19.2M ARR opportunity for Google Cloud partners.
- Discovered and resolved a critical race condition in the Vertex AI backend (Java) that blocked concurrent model deployments; validated the fix with JUnit and Mockito test suites.
- Built a chat-based multi-agent system with Google's Agent Development Kit whose sub-agents autonomously discover open-source GenAI models, provision endpoints, deploy models, and run inference.
Google
stage: transformSoftware Engineering Intern · Apache Beam
May 2024 → Aug 2024 · Seattle, WA
Built high-throughput data infrastructure for migrating legacy data into the cloud.
- Engineered a schema-aware Apache Beam transform in Java processing 3 billion+ CSV records/hour on Google Cloud Dataflow.
- Ensured data integrity and fault tolerance by validating schema constraints ahead of execution and routing malformed records to a Dead Letter Queue.

What I'm shipping next
A few things I'm actively building to deepen my expertise. Current projects span distributed systems, mobile development, and harness engineering.
Mule Mart 2.0: Go microservices
in progressRebuilding Mule Mart's backend as event-driven Go microservices ahead of a public launch: gRPC for service-to-service calls, a GraphQL gateway to aggregate reads across services, Kafka for buyer-seller messaging and notifications, PostgreSQL per service, all deployed to Kubernetes with Prometheus and Grafana observability baked in.

GrafanaPocket agent: on-device AI for iOS
up nextA native Swift iOS app running open-weight models like Gemma 4 E4B fully on-device with MLX, tool-calling into Calendar, Reminders, and Shortcuts. Wakes on background triggers to check things and notify you proactively. No server, no API key, works in airplane mode.
