At Aima, I architected a proactive curiosity engine for a conversational AI companion, defining its state-machine logic, persona behavior, and long-term memory design. I also developed an OpenAI API orchestration pipeline to move the product beyond reactive Q&A toward proactive, personalized conversations.
I implemented conversational state management and memory retrieval that assembled prompts from historical user interactions. I established evaluation criteria, safety guardrails, and automated tests for persona consistency and conversational behavior.
At Mass Virtual, Inc., I designed backend services integrating speech-to-text, LLM inference, and text-to-speech for voice interactions in enterprise VR training applications. I also developed event-driven conversational workflows for real-time simulations.
At Proactive Technologies Inc., I led engineering teams delivering distributed, real-time systems for defense and simulation platforms. I developed automated testing frameworks that reduced test execution time by 30%, and helped improve cross-functional delivery through a standardized domain lexicon.
