I still remember when GPT-3.5 first clicked for me. I was a Cybersecurity Auditor at NYC Cyber Command, sifting through compliance reports for city agencies, when it hit me—this wasn't just another tool. This was a force multiplier. AI wasn't going to replace my work; it was going to free me to do more of the work that actually mattered.
That realization sparked a journey I couldn't have predicted. I finished my Master's in Cybersecurity, dove into AI security research at NYU, and built intelligent systems during my internship at NYU Langone Health.
Along the way, I interviewed at Amazon, Microsoft, SpaceX, FanDuel, and New York Presbyterian—for roles spanning Cybersecurity, Software Engineering, and AI. One pattern emerged across every conversation: they didn't just want credentials. They wanted to see what I'd built. Projects that solved real problems. Clear communication of the value I provided. The ability to explain complex work simply.
For my current role as an AI Engineer, I used Claude to research the job posting deeply—analyzing the company's gaps, predicting what product they needed but didn't have yet, and building it before we ever spoke. I showed up to interviews not just with answers, but with a working solution. The result? I was recognized for initiative, diligence, and communication skills—not because I had the most experience, but because I showed my work.
Now, as an AI Engineer in AdTech, I use these tools every single day—not as a shortcut, but as a way to compound what I'm capable of.
My north star is simple: positively impact one million lives. I believe AI's real promise isn't automation—it's amplification. And I want to help people discover how to use these tools to chase their own goals, one person at a time.
