What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a team where I can ship full-stack products, build dependable AI workflows, and improve quality through testing and evaluation. I want mentorship, strong engineering practices, and room to grow impact across product and platform.

I’m a full-stack software engineer focused on scalable cloud applications and AI workflows. I bring a practical engineering mindset—system design, collaboration, and mentoring—so teams can build reliably and iterate quickly.

At ULEM, I helped rebuild a web UI with React and Tailwind, cutting page load times by 40% after translating real navigation pain points into better design. I also mentored 50+ early-career technologists through mock interviews and hands-on workshops, with many landing their first tech roles within six months.

As an AI Engineer Intern at North Light AI, I designed and deployed tools with GPT-4 and Whisper to automate transcription and document summarization, reducing workflow bottlenecks by 32%. I also built and deployed containerized machine learning pipelines with evaluation, validation, logging, and retry controls to improve accuracy and reliability.

In recent work, I’ve shipped frontend features through code review/version control and built deterministic, repeatable LLM evaluation harnesses using self-evaluation gates and reviewer subagents. On the portfolio side, I build AI products like a streaming chat assistant and a local GraphRAG “second brain” that retrieves, retries, and synthesizes knowledge with agentic workflows.
