Hi! I'm Adam 💠

I'm a software engineer, poet, and theatermaker based in New York City.

I work at IBM on the Z mainframe platform, bringing modern open-source tooling to legacy systems. Outside of work, I build tools for geospatial AI and humanitarian use – recently profiled by NYU Tandon Engineering for this work.
