Hello there! My name is Adam, I'm a full stack software engineer from the San Francisco Bay Area. I'm currently working as a Backend Engineer at Apple, where I work the tech behind on-device evaluations that help improve the quality of Apple Intelligence.

I specialize in building software that makes an impact by building user-centered frontend interfaces following UI/UX best practices, automation tools that streamline operations, and interactive applications that solve real business problems.

While I'm proud to have worked at Apple on my current contract, it is coming to a close soon. Iā€™m currently seeking full time and contract software engineering positions based in the San Francisco Bay Area, New York City, Boston, and San Diego. Feel free to message me and get in touch!
