About

I am a software engineer at Google working remotely and based in Indiana. My work focuses on making ads in YouTube more effective and engaging, with a focus on app advertisements and mobile clients (both Android and iOS). I received my Informatics PhD in the Virtual Heritage track at Indiana University Bloomington where I worked as part of the Virtual World Heritage Lab. During my schooling I was able to pursue my joint interests of computer science and art history. More recently, I have been fully focused on my industry work and honing my skills as a full stack software engineer.
