// about
An AI and full-stack engineer who likes shipping the hard parts.
I’m a software engineer based in Fremont, California. Day to day I build the production systems a high-velocity startup runs on: LLM-powered tooling, data pipelines, and the full-stack apps its teams depend on.
My favorite work sits where messy reality meets clean engineering: a natural-language assistant that lets non-technical staff query production databases, an ERP traceability layer built on recursive SQL, telemetry dashboards generated from code. I shipped production LLM systems early. That’s the thread through most of what I do now.
Outside the day job I build things for the love of it: a full-stack collection tracker, a music recommender that listens to the audio itself. Same instinct, fewer constraints.
- 2024 to Present
Software Engineer / CelLink Corporation
Own 15+ production internal tools serving 500+ users: AI assistants, data pipelines, ERP integrations, and full-stack apps. Shipped production LLM tooling before it was common at the company.

Software Engineer Intern / Ecolab
Computer-vision and edge-computing work, an early exposure to C/C++ and deploying inference close to the hardware.
- 2019 to 2023
B.S., Class of 2023 / University of Minnesota
Formula SAE / Gopher Motorsports: built and raced things under real deadlines with real consequences.
Correctness first
Most of my work runs in production, where a wrong number is worse than no number, so I build for traceability and fail loudly.
Ship, then refine
A tool in someone’s hands beats a perfect tool in a branch. I get to v1 fast and iterate against real usage.
Tools over heroics
If I do something twice, I automate it. Internal tooling, dev workflow, deploys, and the leverage compounds.
