About
The person who automates the spreadsheet, then goes looking for the next spreadsheet.
I am a Staff Accountant at Ortho Molecular Products, a $200M multi-entity manufacturer, where I own month-end deliverables across two legal entities on a five-day close. That is the day job, and I do it properly: journal entries, reconciliations, fixed assets, sales tax, the books of a subsidiary brand.
The other half of the role is why I am here. I came in with a Computer Science degree from the University of Pittsburgh, and the VP of Accounting selected me to lead the team's automation initiatives. Since then I have shipped three production systems, including an OpenAI-backed transaction classifier that cut a 36-hour monthly review to ten minutes, fixed a Fast Close report at the SQL level after months of bad data, and been pulled across the org to write the specification layer for a company-wide platform consolidation.
The pattern in all of it: I sit at the seam between the people who understand the finance and the people who build the systems, and I am comfortable on both sides of it. I sit for the CPA exams in December 2026. Off the clock I build and ship products, and I am learning quantum computing in Qiskit, honestly framed as study, not expertise.

- State the assumptions behind a number.A figure without its inputs is a claim, not a result. Retention periods, noise models, and the baseline a result was measured against go next to the number, not in a footnote.
- Show honest losses.When the classical baseline wins, that result gets published too. My quantum forecaster lost to linear regression, and it stays on the site.
- Never let "quantum" or "AI" do work it has not earned.The word has to be backed by a benchmark against the method people use today. If the benchmark is missing, the word comes out.
