As a Senior Software Engineer at Microsoft, I work on various projects that involve High Availability (HA), Geographic Disaster Recovery (GeoDR), OpenTelemetry (OTel), Metrics, Monitors, Dashboards, and Service Level Agreements Indicators and Obligations (SLA/SLI/SLO), for Azure SQL, SQL server, and SQL server enabled by Azure Arc. Prior to Microsoft I worked as a Data Scientist for the National Security Agency (NSA). With over seven years of experience in software engineering and data science, I have developed skills in Python, C++, C#, Java, GitHub Copilot
and other languages, tools, and frameworks that enable me to deliver high-quality solutions for Microsoft Azure.
In addition to my role at Microsoft, I am pursuing a Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) in Electrical Engineering at the University of Florida where I conduct research in topological quantum computing. My research interests include superconductors, photonics, quantum information, and algorithms. I hold an Master of Science (MS) in Electrical Engineering from The George Washington University and a dual Bachelor of Science (BS) in Computer Science and Physics from The George Washington University. I hold a Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) commercial pilot license and a Professional Association of Diving Instructors (PADI) rescue diver license.
