About me
I’m a software engineer based in Houston, TX. I earned a Ph.D. from Columbia University studying self-assembly in soft matter systems. In particular, I wrote, ran, and analyzed simulations of such systems; you can see a couple of examples of such simulations on GitHub.
Currently, I'm working as Software Engineering Team Lead at SmileDirectClub, leading a a development team focused on managing prescriptions through their journey from the initial creation of a treatment plan to initiating the aligner manufacturing process.
