I'm a software engineer and founder of BalladWorks, where we build engineering products like Isohawk.
Career
I founded BalladWorks in early 2026. Before that, I was a Staff Engineer at RapidSOS building real-time emergency software for first responders. Six years of meaningful work that I'm proud of.
Before RapidSOS, I led an engineering team at BeenVerified for a little over three years, working with public records and building telemetry systems. I went off to consult for two years after that.
I'm now focused on building safer tools and infra at BalladWorks.
Other Interests
I'm involved in Philly real estate, which is how PhillyInsights came to be.
