About
Senior Software Engineer · MinnesotaSoftware engineer with 11+ years building systems where failures have real consequences: FDA-regulated implants delivering electrical current to patients' brains, structured loan portfolios worth billions, and research infrastructure for experimental cancer data.
How I Work
I learn unfamiliar domains quickly, find where teams are stuck, and automate or eliminate the pain points to accelerate output. I work across the full lifecycle — discovery, design, implementation, testing, deployment, and support — and try to raise team standards along the way, not just ship my own code. I care about code that can be read, maintained, reviewed, and safely evolved by both humans and AI-assisted tooling. If you're solving hard engineering problems, I'd like to hear about them.

Impact & Milestones
ZAIS Group
Software Engineer at ZAIS Group, a structured finance firm managing $4.6B in CLO assets. Built data pipelines and search tools for the Data Analytics team, reconciling inconsistent vendor feeds into reliable loan-level metrics.
Projects
Medtronic
Software Engineer at Medtronic for seven years, building FDA-regulated Android therapy control software for deep brain stimulation (DBS) implants. Deep brain stimulation is an FDA-approved therapy for Parkinson's disease, essential tremor, dystonia, and epilepsy that works by delivering targeted electrical pulses to precise brain structures. The Percept PC system—FDA-cleared in 2020—was the first to sense and record brain signals during therapy, enabling adaptive, personalized treatment. It has since been recognized as a TIME Best Invention and validated in JAMA Neurology.
