Correctness-First
In regulated environments, “shipped” is not enough — it has to be right. The bias that took ~90% of the noise out of JPMorgan's AML platform.

Dallas-Fort Worth, TXAbout

Iwas born and raised in Brooklyn. I taught myself to code in the apartment I grew up in — Perl, PHP, HTML, CSS, JavaScript, SQL, and enough binary to break things I shouldn't have. That self-taught instinct never left.
It carried me through a year in Bridgeport, Connecticut, five years in Westchester, New York, and into a J.P. Morgan analyst seat in Manhattan. From there, across consulting engagements at Barclays, GroupM, and Credit Suisse, into a front-office VP role on a Capital Markets desk, and back to JPMorganChase supporting a 700-person organization, a $50M+ technology portfolio, and trillions in transaction volume.
In July 2019, I relocated to Dallas for J.P. Morgan. In 2025, I started building for myself.

Career
From a Brooklyn apartment teaching myself Perl to directing firmwide AML transformation at JPMorganChase. The work has been the same: build correctness-first, lead at the C-suite level, ship outcomes that matter.
