Summary

Cloud Systems & AI Architect with an 8+ year track record of scaling high-traffic UGC platforms and shipping widely adopted developer tools. I demonstrated early technical mastery by solo-engineering a C++ runtime inspection tool that captured 111,000+ community views and have been featured on channels amassing 1M + and 10M+ views. Today, I specialize in platform engineering, AI safety, and observability, blending Python, API orchestration, and frontier LLMs to build resilient workflows. Highly experienced in local-first agent control, AI Safety, and developing safe code, Pydantic-validated tool routing, and governed SQL simulators. I focus on translating raw intent into reliable, auditable automation-integrating tools like FastAPI and even more creatively, IoT devices like Alexa to ensure predictable behavior before any autonomous action takes place.

Work History

Technical Systems Consultant | Part-Time Work

Sneaker Square
08.2024 - 09.2024
  • Deployed persistent data solutions for the Sneaker Square ecosystem, ensuring strict ACID data integrity and zero data-loss for a user base generating 357,900+ verified engagements.

Technical Systems Consultant | Part-Time Work

Uzu Studio
08.2024 - 09.2024
  • Engineered state-synchronization modules scaling backend architecture to support 44,200+ unique user interactions with zero performance degradation or memory exhaustion.

Cloud Automation / Security Engineer

Independent Developer
12.2024 - Current
  • Implemented enterprise-grade security protocols using AWS Systems Manager Parameter Store and strict IAM policies to securely retrieve runtime credentials and maintain zero-trust architecture to keep costs low.
  • Engineered continuous integration (CI) pipelines via GitHub Actions to automate AWS deployments, map branches, and sync cloud-hosted skill code from a centralized monorepo. Deployed code 100 times from 2024-2025
  • Built 20 real-time webhook routines and PC-client communication nodes to ensure secure session handling and synchronized state management.

Lead Engineer

Independent Developer
02.2023 - Current
  • Designed and optimized gameplay mechanics for a CapCut-style PvP experience, building out the onboarding process, shop flow, performant UI/UX, and camera effects. Improved engagement by 389%, from 3.1m to 15.4m, through systems iteration.
  • Conducted targeted A/B testing and funnel analysis to identify onboarding friction, successfully improving first-time user experience (FTUE) completion to 84%.

Systems & AI Tooling Developer

Independent Software Engineer
10.2016 - Current
  • Developed a private, AI-assisted code intelligence tool that maps project hierarchy, script ownership, and refactor targets across complex Lua environments, greatly improving code inspection speed. Can traverse projects with 10-100 of folders instantly.
  • Engineered features to pack multiple scripts (20-50) into single files for efficient LLM parsing, bridging legacy state-inspection techniques with modern generative AI capabilities. Dynamic understanding of packing via VSCode open files/integration to mitigate manual selection.

Technical Systems Consultant | Part-Time Work

Cross-Platform Studio
02.2023 - 03.2023
  • Architected cross-server matchmaking and shared-state infrastructure to enable low-latency coordination when native APIs were unavailable.

Technical Systems Consultant | Part-Time Work

03.2022 - 04.2022
  • Instrumented modular telemetry code coupled with native monetization APIs to capture local UX state changes, providing data to optimize downstream sales funnels.

Legacy C++ Systems Debug Utility

RTFSplorer
10.2016 - 01.2018
  • Made a C++ WinAPI utility that hooked into a high-traffic 3D UGC engine, allowing users to dynamically traverse instances, extract properties, and manipulate runtime state, serving as a portable debug environment.
  • Achieved viral community adoption, capturing major influencers attention and driving over 111,000 combined views, from verified creators that have 144K subscribers netting 10M+ views. Reached hundreds of thousands of users during the beta release phase.
