## About

```text
At Empire Sports & Entertainment, Inc., I modernized a ticket aggregation platform by introducing LLM-powered extraction pipelines and moving integrations from browser automation to direct APIs. I also developed AI agents to monitor crawler failures and propose fixes.

At Healthy Minds Innovation, I delivered cloud-native healthcare applications and improved API performance and release workflows. Earlier, at ExaWizards Inc., I developed gait-analysis and speech-processing systems for CareWiz Toruto and CareWiz Hanasuto, and contributed reusable ML algorithms to exaBase AI.
