I'm a software engineer and founder of BalladWorks, which builds engineering products like Isohawk.
Career
I went full-time on BalladWorks in early 2026. Before that, I was a Staff Engineer at RapidSOS building life-saving emergency systems for first responders. It was six years of deeply meaningful work that I'm proud of.
Before RapidSOS, I led an engineering team at BeenVerified for a little more than three years, followed by two years consulting on telemetry systems.
Other Interests
I'm involved in Philly real estate, which is how PhillyInsights came to be.
