I build scalable backend, cloud, and AI-powered software products.

I'm building scalable software at Vinyl Equity, where I drive AI adoption with Claude Code and local LLMs and architect high-throughput data ingestion with real-time SSE telemetry.

I also added resilient email capabilities using SendGrid, SES, SQS, Lambda, DynamoDB, and a versioned visual template editor integrated into the frontend.

At Sclera, I built a Typesense search API for millions of products, automated floorplan image analysis to reduce manual work by 70%, and designed a multimodal RAG chatbot pipeline. I mentored junior developers and built syslog management with Docker, rsyslog, RabbitMQ, MySQL, and NLP.

Previously at Access Research Labs, I co-developed a patented P2P protocol for remote hardware connections, built network-management tools, and optimized Docker deployments to cut deployment time by 40% and image size by 82%.
