I work in lab automation within the life sciences industry. My day-to-day is about how scientific instruments talk to each other and how the system tracks what every machine is doing. Before this I was in automotive, mostly on data movement between systems — so a lot of what I'm doing now is new territory.

I think a lot about how AI tools are reshaping software work. I'm experiencing that shift in my own job, and a good chunk of my thinking goes into how to actually use these tools well.

I'm also studying AI through Georgia Tech's OMSCS program. Going through a graduate program now feels different from my undergrad years — part of what I'm paying attention to is how education itself is changing along with everything else.

This blog is where I share those questions, thoughts, and experiences as they come up.
