About

I'm an AI/ML engineer focused on agentic systems: multi-agent orchestration, memory and retrieval infrastructure, evaluation, and getting LLMs to behave reliably in production. I just finished my M.S. in Applied Data Science at San Jose State, and I've spent the last two years building, from production LLM systems at a startup to a long list of hackathon projects that actually ship.

I like the full arc: training and fine-tuning the model, building the system around it, and putting it in front of real users. Along the way I've taught hundreds of students to use AI through the OpenAI campus program, because the work isn't done until someone else can run it too.

Selected work

Things I've built and shipped

A mix of a startup, award-winning hackathon builds, and research projects. Award badges are real placements.

Pioneer

5 early customers

A multi-tenant company-brain that ingests a team's tools into a shared memory store and serves it back to people and AI agents, with Notion OAuth ingestion, streaming RAG chat, per-principal access control, and an MCP server for external agents.
