About
With a robust educational foundation in computer science from New York University and Nassau Community College, I have carved a dynamic career in technology and entrepreneurship. As a Co-Founder of Blaze, a Y Combinator-backed startup, I am currently revolutionizing payment systems for digital nomads and travelers. Previously, I co-founded Seasons, a fashion rental platform in New York, where I served as CTO, promoting sustainability and community through curated luxury menswear. My tenure as Tech Lead and Senior Software Engineer at Artsy saw me lead a team in developing a location-based show guide feature in collaboration with BMW, and contribute to React Native open-source projects. Earlier, I co-founded Often, where I designed backend services and client architecture. My career is marked by a commitment to innovation and a passion for creating impactful technology solutions.
