Astrophysicist,
software engineer,
educator

I am a postdoctoral associate at Argonne National Laboratory, where I build tools to study the universe at scale. I received my PhD from U.C. Davis in 2024, based on my research into the environments of strong gravitational lenses. This work taught me the power of well-engineered software and systems to enable scientific discovery with next-generation astronomical datasets.

At Argonne, my focus is on building infrastructure that allows scientists worldwide to handle petabyte-scale datasets that are increasingly dominating our field. The motivations and goals are simple: well-built systems enable scientists to focus on science, not data management.
