My journey began at Hudson Valley Community College, where I majored in Computer Information Systems while balancing roles as a peer tutor, football team player, and Kitchen Manager at Chipotle. This experience laid a strong foundation for my academic and professional growth, teaching me the importance of hard work, time management, and leadership.

I then transferred to the University at Albany (D1 FCS), graduating summa cum laude with a degree in Computer Information Systems and a concentration in UI/UX. Throughout my academic career, I developed a diverse range of technical skills, including proficiency in programming languages such as Java, Python, and SQL, front-end web development technologies, and statistical analysis using tools like R and Excel. Additionally, I gained expertise in graphic design by managing social media for UAlbany Athletics during my senior season.

After graduating, I began my career in the AdTech space, initially starting in sales before transitioning to engineering. Concurrently, I pursued my professional football career, playing for The Spring League (now the UFL), the MLFB, and receiving numerous other professional contracts. Balancing a demanding career in AdTech with high-level athletics instilled in me a strong work ethic, meticulous planning, and exceptional communication skills. These experiences have seamlessly translated into my professional life, enabling me to work collaboratively towards common goals and take on leadership responsibilities with confidence.

My time in AdTech provided me with a comprehensive understanding of both the high-level strategic and technical aspects of the industry. It also reinforced my ability to adapt and excel in different roles, further enhancing my problem-solving and analytical skills.

I pride myself on my ability to combine technical expertise with the invaluable lessons learned through athletics. My strengths in communication, leadership, and diligence make me an asset to any team or project.
