Senior Software
Engineer.
I take products from zero to one—from ideation and architecture to launch and production. With founding-engineer experience across web, mobile, and AI, I own the details end to end and turn ideas into working products.
Product-minded engineering.
Across the whole stack.
TypeScript / Python / React / Next.js / Node.js / PostgreSQL / AWS
01 / Selected work & experience
From AI-powered nutrition to payment infrastructure, I work across interfaces, services, and the systems that connect them.

Applied a variant of Q-learning to an HTML5 implementation of Doodle Jump while at UC Davis, exploring how an agent learns to play through interaction.
Built a Chrome extension and desktop application for controlling music across applications, using WebSockets for real-time communication. A university project built with JavaScript and PHP.
03 / A little about me
I’m a senior software engineer based in the Los Angeles area. I started programming at 12, launched technology companies, and went on to earn a B.S. in Computer Science from the University of California, Davis.
My specialty is taking a product from scratch to launch, or stepping into an existing system and taking ownership. My work spans React and TypeScript interfaces, Node.js services, relational databases, cross-platform mobile apps, and AI integrations. My technical skills also include Python and AWS.
AI & automation: AI API integration, multimodal AI (GPT-4V), AI-powered product development, AI-assisted coding (Codex), prompt engineering, structured outputs, tool calling, retrieval-augmented generation (RAG), embeddings, and LLM evaluation.
I also bring experience in smart contracts, payment settlement, modular SDK design, cloud infrastructure, and leading small engineering teams.
