About
I am a multidisciplinary engineer based in San Francisco, with mentoring and teaching at the center of my work. I have taught coding bootcamps, created my own courses, and built a large, long-term talent network through years of instruction and technical guidance. I run an apprenticeship-driven program where I work one-on-one with emerging engineers, help them refine their skills through real projects, and guide them into meaningful paid work. I also partner directly with early-stage Bay Area startups, drawing on eight years of experience building engineering teams. You can reach out to me if: • You want to hire AI engineering talent • You want guidance on developing technical talent • You're a developer looking to grow in the field of AI • You want to collaborate on apprenticeship programs My technical background includes aerospace engineering, full-stack development, developer tools, automation, cloud deployment, and building AI systems that scale.
