I'm a software engineer and founder of BalladWorks, which builds engineering products like Isohawk.
Work
In mid 2026, I started BalladWorks where I now work full-time.
Before BalladWorks, I was a Staff Engineer at RapidSOS for six years, building emergency systems for first responders. It was deeply meaningful work.
Before that, 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.
