Personal Bio

I was born in St. Paul, MN, and grew up in South St. Paul, MN. I attended the University of Georgia for college (class of 2020), and Stanford University for my PhD (graduated 2025). I married my wife Johanna in 2022 in the botanical gardens of Athens, GA. We welcomed a baby boy into the world in 2026. We live in New York City and are members of Central Presbyterian Church.

Past Work

In summer 2024 I interned at Citadel (EQR) and worked on alpha capture. In summer 2023, I interned at Virtu and worked on several projects for the options market-making desk. In summer 2022, I interned with Amazon and helped improve the average delivery speed of packages shipped through Amazon's in-house air logistics network.

I worked at Epic as a software developer on the central data science team. I was developer lead for an infrastructure project to make it easier for hospitals to improve the configuration of their installation of Epic.

I wrote my master's thesis on convolutional neural networks for demosaicing. I built models that exploited redundancies across films / bursts of images to improve reconstruction quality. The thesis is available for download here.

In college I interned at the Federal Reserve Bank of New York for a summer, where I worked on mapping out systemic vulnerabilities in the Fedwire settlement network. This work made it into a Fed report.

I spent a summer researching valuation models for options on volatility indexes with Worcester Polytechnic Institute’s financial mathematics REU.
