Background

My professional career started as an engineer developing products for the pharmaceutical industry by leveraging materials science. In looking for more diverse opportunities, I entered the medical imaging field which renewed my interest in software development. Further building on this, at Comcast I was able to drive programs that delivered cutting edge IP video technology at massive scale, and now I develop advanced analysis platforms at Vertex.
