"I’ve been doing well as a UX Designer at Walmart technology working on AI & ML applications, designing chatbots & other AI related work.
It was a very fruitful time during my 2007-2012 studies at what was then NJIT's CoAD. Before, the New Jersey School of Architecture was still growing and exploring new ways to engage with the latest computer and fabrication techniques. It was great to be a part of that process. I'd like to give a special thank you to Professor Stephen Zdepski, who really helped me shape a grander view on the architecture profession as a whole.
