About me

I work best on difficult systems with real users.

I am Mel. I work on AI evaluation, identity, data systems, and cloud infrastructure. I help teams find the cause of a problem and ship a reliable fix.

Working principles

  1. 01Make the failure mode visible.
  2. 02Prefer reproducible evidence over confident guesses.
  3. 03Leave the system easier to operate than I found it.

Background

AI evaluation

Identity and access management

I built identity migrations, Snowflake connectors, production diagnostics, and test systems at Trivir.

2022 to 2023

Azure cloud and developer tools

I completed two Microsoft internships. I worked on HPC data, access reviews, and operational dashboards.

2019 to 2023

Applied mathematics and computer science

I studied at the University of Utah. I focused on problems where the model and the code must agree.

A personal build

I built a study app that helped my mom become a U.S. citizen.
