I'm a software engineer at IBM in New York, on enterprise resiliency testing and automation for the IBM Z mainframe. I replace legacy testing tools with modern open-source frameworks: porting Grafana k6 natively to z/OS, load-testing 3270 terminals, and building CI/CD for mainframe infrastructure. Several are open source, including xk6-tn3270 , xk6-llm , and fromjcl .
Outside that, I build at the intersection of geospatial AI and humanitarian use. DreamMeridian runs AI geospatial queries entirely offline on a Raspberry Pi, for places with no reliable network; it placed 2nd in the ARM AI Developer Challenge and was profiled by NYU Tandon . amanat scans an NGO's cloud accounts for exposed beneficiary data and remediates it on-device. The thread runs back to UNICEF, where I built routing for school-site planning. It's the subject I've worked on since I was an undergraduate: who gets seen, who gets counted, and what systems do to people who can't opt out.
I hold a B.A. in Theater and Computer Science from Wesleyan , and I'm finishing an M.S. in Computer Engineering at NYU Tandon . I'm also a poet and theatermaker: my work has appeared in Barzakh Magazine , Collide-oscope , and Four Tulips , and I've directed, stage-managed, and designed for the stage. Writing, theater, and software have always been one kind of work for me: making something in response to what I notice.
