What I'm looking for

I'm open to remote work on a contract or EOR basis, and to relocation.

I built and shipped SteamLens, a live LLM review-analysis app, from a human-adjudicated gold set to approval-gated deployment. Its reports compute every displayed number deterministically from labels, and the product discloses measured residual attribution error.

For SteamLens, I measured the production labeller against a 250-review gold set and rejected a higher-scoring candidate that cost about 12 times more. Verbatim checks and a grounding gate prevent unverifiable quotes or numerals from being published.

I extracted the operations layer beneath two deployed projects into the Platform repository, using Terraform and Ansible. I tested recovery by rebuilding a blank host and restoring SteamLens from backup, then added a monthly automated restore check.

At Tiplay Studio, I shipped more than 20 production games across web, in-car, and TV platforms. I developed Card Lounge largely solo and shipped AirConsole's first car-to-car multiplayer system, including its server and WebSocket backend.
