Pronounced like "Shin".
I love building great things with great people while having a great time. I’m passionate about learning, expanding my skillset, and using my knowledge to help others create impactful solutions.
On the work front, I previously worked as a Software Engineer at VMware on the Pod Service Team, where I helped develop and scale VMware Cloud on AWS. I’ve built software in all sorts of settings — from large corporations to fast-moving start-ups — which has taught me how to adapt quickly and deliver with purpose.
Outside of code, you’ll find me hanging out with friends, catching a good movie, or trying to take my cat, Anko, out for a walk.

Built and maintained lifecycle orchestration services for VMware Cloud on AWS, supporting the pipelines that provisioned, upgraded, and patched customer environments. I shipped production code, debugged customer-impacting issues, and participated in an on-call rotation focused on reliability across distributed SaaS systems.
Worked with textbook authors to build and validate interactive computer science lessons for college students. I reviewed questions, solutions, modules, and activities before release, helping turn dense technical material into accurate, reliable learning content.
Rebuilt major React front-end workflows around user friction, built a C++ tool for securely moving files to medical devices, and integrated AWS-backed video storage and processing for the product.
