A Lifelong Journey of Learning
Aspiring Software Engineer
What began as a simple curiosity for making a video game during the COVID-19 pandemic ignited my passion for all things software — and a lifelong drive to keep learning and building.
Where it all began · Oʻahu, Hawaiʻi
What I build with
My Tech Stack
Most of what I do sits close to the machine: backend systems, AI agents, and robotics. Everything here is something I've actually built and shipped, not just read about.
Focus area
Distributed & Backend Systems
This is the work I know best. Microservices and the infrastructure they run on, and keeping all of it correct once real traffic and weird edge cases start piling up.
What I've built
- Built microservices powering energy-platform backend infrastructure at Tesla
- Cloud backend controllers for Spectrum's Service Delivery platform
- Real-time APIs and services over Supabase / Postgres at WashU's Devstac
- Joining Capital One's Cloud team to keep building at scale
Focus area
Applied AI & Agents
I build with LLMs and agents where they actually do something, inside real products and hooked up to real machines, not just answering questions in a chat box.
What I've built
- Building AI agents at Capital One and Tesla
- Built Tandem, an MCP server where people and AI agents work on the same planning canvas together
- Wiring agents to MCPs and skills so they can trigger real automation and physical movement
- LLM analysis of medical documents inside a Meta Quest XR assistant
Focus area
Robotics & Low-Level Systems
The other side of what I do: low-level code and robotics. Machines that have to work in the real world, the concurrency and memory details underneath them, and increasingly an AI layer on top deciding what they should do.
What I've built
- Project Lead for WashU Robotics, driving the team's ROS-based control work
- Teach x86 assembly, C, and the memory model as a System Software TA
- Concurrency and parallelism from Parallel & Concurrent Programming coursework
Full-Stack Product
Whole products, from the first prototype to something people actually use.
- Won #1 at STL Startup Tech Week with a Meta Quest XR health assistant
- Flashcard backend: full-text search, tagging, and privacy controls
