blog dev poetry design theater about

Hi! I'm Adam.

I'm a Software Engineer, Poet, and Designer. At IBM, I build test automation and observability tooling for the Z mainframe. Outside of work, I build civic-AI systems like Riprap NYC, where every claim in a flood-exposure briefing cites a public record. I'm finishing an M.S. in Computer Engineering at NYU Tandon. I also write.
