I'm a systems-minded JavaScript engineer with a deep foundation in computer science and a passion for building robust, modern tooling. With over five years at MongoDB, I led the transformation of the Node.js driver and supporting libraries—modernizing our architecture, improving performance, and raising engineering standards across the board. My background spans low-level systems, browser runtimes, and distributed software, allowing me to design solutions that balance deep technical understanding with practical developer experience. I bring curiosity, long-term thinking, and a drive to elevate the software I work on—and I'm excited to bring that energy to new challenges.
Leading maintainer of the MongoDB Node.js Driver. Led cross-cutting initiatives around logging standardization, async tracing, and Cloudflare Worker support. Introduced automation for driver releases and publishing, improving release confidence and reducing manual work. Produced clear and forward-looking technical documents, facilitating decision-making on breaking changes, deprecations, and ecosystem direction. Modeled best practices in communication, planning, and mentorship within the team.
Maintainer of the MongoDB Node.js Driver. Drove technical design efforts across features like async stack traces, cursor APIs, and BSON modernization. Owned long-term improvements to project structure and developer workflows. Championed ecosystem alignment through specification work, versioning strategy, and compatibility guarantees. Contributed broadly to team planning, release coordination, and improving cross-functional communication with other language driver teams.
Assisted in creating coding assignment documentation and regression unit tests for students. Led a team of Teaching Assistants by supervising the development of homework assignments. Created robust Python scripts to automate testing of student submissions for grading.

Core Expertise
Primary maintainer of the official MongoDB Node.js driver. Delivered improvements to async stack trace behavior, transaction API design, and cursor internals. Helped drive spec compliance across language drivers. Shaped project strategy through release automation, improved observability, and developer-focused ergonomics. Regularly authored design docs to inform architecture, breaking changes, and new feature work.
Maintainer of the BSON JavaScript library, used across MongoDB drivers and tools. Led modernization and cleanup for the next generation of front and backend unified javascript compatibility. Designed, implemented, and prevented regressions on major performance improvements that significantly sped up operations on strings without requiring changes for downstream projects.
Command line Python package to simulate a MIPS program by interpreting assembly text. A corresponding Visual Studio Code editor extension that runs a MIPS debugger and many memory layout visualizations.
64-bit operating system in C targeting x86_64. Features include context switching, AHCI driver virtual memory management, copy-on-write fork, and userspace processes. Runs on real hardware.
