United States

I build full-stack products and the GenAI systems behind them — from LLM pipelines that turn messy enterprise data into decisions, to the APIs and dashboards people actually use.

01 / About

Build it, ship it, keep it running.

I'm a software engineer working at the intersection of generative AI and full-stack development. I'm currently building LLM-powered tooling at John Cockerill Industries — pipelines that turn scattered SAP, SharePoint, and Teams data into cost estimates and recommendations sales teams can act on the same day.

Before this I spent two years at Cashfree Payments, where I built risk and fraud APIs in Java and Go that ran inline in production, shipped RESTful services with React/TypeScript dashboards on top, and led a cross-functional team of 10 through a React Native app launch. I also hold a Master's from Illinois Institute of Technology, where I did systems research on Kafka-based event streaming and distributed coordination.

My stack spans Java, Python, and Go on the backend to React and Next.js up front, with AWS, GCP, Docker, and Kubernetes tying it together — and lately a lot of LangChain, RAG pipelines, and prompt engineering, since GenAI is the main thing I build now.

Outside of work I care about shipping things that are technically solid and genuinely useful, not just impressive on paper.

Wardwell — Trust-Layer Marketplace for Caregivers

Caregiver marketplaces lean on opaque, one-time background checks, leaving families under-protected when vetting childcare and eldercare providers. Wardwell is a two-sided marketplace built around a transparent, continuous trust layer instead — plain-language tiered verification badges, a visible "continuously monitored since [date]" indicator backed by Checkr's continuous-check product, and structured reference checks, all instead of the industry's one-time badge. Booking and messaging stay on-platform until both sides opt in, and a trust-ops admin dashboard gives staff a resource-based, auth-gated view into every verification and incident. Runs on sandboxed Checkr, Stripe Identity, and Stripe Connect integrations end to end.

Stratum — Auto-Versioned, Time-Travel SQL Database screen recording

Stratum — Auto-Versioned, Time-Travel SQL Database

Postgres, MySQL, MongoDB, and DuckDB offer no native point-in-time history, forcing teams to hand-build audit tables or run CDC pipelines just to answer "what did this row look like last Tuesday." Stratum is a single-file embedded database that auto-versions every write with SQLite's ergonomics and git's memory, and exposes time-travel SQL verbs — AS OF, DIFF, HISTORY, BLAME, ROLLBACK — through a CLI, REPL, and web UI, with zero config required to turn it on.

semdiff — Conflict-Aware Structural Merge Engine screen recording

semdiff — Conflict-Aware Structural Merge Engine

Git's diff and merge machinery treats every file as lines of text, which breaks down hard for structured formats — two engineers editing unrelated cells in the same Jupyter notebook still conflict, because array insertions shift every line after them and JSON has no concept of "this cell is a unit." semdiff is a general, pluggable, conflict-aware structural merge engine: a generic tree representation, an identity/content-hash/GumTree-style matcher, and format adapters (tree-sitter for JSON and Terraform HCL, nbformat for notebooks, ruamel.yaml for Kubernetes manifests) built once so a new format is a parser plus semantic rules, not a new project. Non-overlapping edits merge cleanly where git falsely conflicts, real conflicts come back as valid, still-parseable files with inline markers instead of raw <<<<<<< text, and it installs as a one-command git merge-driver across all four formats.

Velox/Presto — Distance Function Registration Fix (Meta Open Source) screen recording

Velox/Presto — Distance Function Registration Fix (Meta Open Source)

l2_squared, dot_product(real), and cosine_similarity(real) silently failed to register in default (non-FAISS) Velox builds, breaking real-column queries with "Scalar function name not registered" — while calls against literal arrays appeared to work, since the Presto coordinator constant-folds literal expressions before they ever reach the native worker. Authored pure C++ fallback implementations for all four function/type overloads, registered them unconditionally regardless of VELOX_ENABLE_FAISS, and un-gated the matching unit tests so they run in default builds instead of only under FAISS.

Microsoft STL — Iterator Debugging Invariants Documentation

The iterator-debugging proxy machinery in <xmemory> — _Container_proxy, _Container_base12, _Iterator_base12 — governs how MSVC's debug iterators stay valid across container mutation, but carried no comments despite genuinely non-obvious invariants: an intrusive linked list of live iterators, mutual container/proxy pointers, and a specific locking rule. The explanation had lived only in a maintainer's issue-thread reply for four years. Verified those invariants still matched the current code exactly, then wrote them up as comments next to the code they describe — a comment-only PR with no behavior change.

Sludge-RAG — Organizational Context Layer for RAG screen recording

Sludge-RAG — Organizational Context Layer for RAG

A RAG system that surfaces not just what a policy says, but why it exists. Sludge-RAG mines the Slack threads and email chains around a document, runs a multi-turn Claude pipeline to extract the organizational rationale behind each decision, and attaches it as metadata to every indexed chunk — so a query like "why is retention 90 days" comes back with the GDPR and audit context, not just a dry PDF excerpt. A dual-pane "Vibe-Check" playground puts plain vector search side by side with rationale-augmented search so the difference is visible, not just claimed.

AgentHub — Terminal-First Coding Agent Manager

A SaaS dashboard for developers running multiple AI coding agents — Claude Code, Copilot, Cursor, Codex — in one place instead of juggling terminals and logs. Tracks sessions per agent with token counts, cost, duration, and status, streams a terminal-style activity log, and pushes Slack and email alerts when a session finishes or fails. Auth is JWT plus Google OAuth with per-user @alias handles for team visibility, rate-limited and request-logged on the backend.

TrackSplitAI — Multi-Tenant Expense Splitting SaaS

A multi-tenant expense tracking and splitting SaaS with AI categorization, a conversational assistant, and real subscription billing — not a toy CRUD app. Seven FastAPI microservices talk over a RabbitMQ event bus with dead-letter queues and per-consumer dedup, Gemini categorizes expenses and answers questions, and Stripe Checkout handles billing with signature-verified, idempotent webhooks. Runs on Kubernetes (EKS) via Terraform-provisioned infra, autoscales on CPU and queue depth, and ships through a GitHub Actions pipeline with coverage gates, Trivy scanning, and Prometheus/Grafana/Loki observability.

Instagram Analytics — Real-Time Scraping Pipeline

An Instagram analytics pipeline that scrapes profiles via Apify, queues the work through Kafka, and pushes results to a React dashboard over WebSockets in real time. FastAPI handles the API layer, a Python consumer service does the actual scraping and writes to MongoDB or DynamoDB depending on deployment, and rate limiting plus per-query performance logging keep the scraping layer honest at scale.

ARIA — Adherence Risk Intelligence Agent

A between-visit clinical intelligence platform for hypertension management that gives clinicians an 8-minute pre-visit briefing instead of a blank chart. Ingests patient data via FHIR R4, then runs a three-layer nightly pipeline — a deterministic rule engine (gap, therapeutic inertia, adherence-BP correlation, deterioration, and variability detectors) feeds a weighted risk score, which feeds a Claude-generated 3-sentence clinical narrative validated against faithfulness and safety guardrails before it's ever shown. Also runs a deterministic drug-interaction checker, a tool-using clinical chatbot, and a patient-facing PWA for home BP submission — all driven by a 30-second poll worker, no Celery, no Redis queue.

PartSelect Chat Agent

A scoped AI chat assistant for PartSelect's refrigerator and dishwasher catalog — finds parts by symptom or model number, verifies compatibility against a specific model number (never guesses), and walks customers through installation and troubleshooting with interactive, localStorage-persisted checklists. Built on Claude tool-use for part search, compatibility checks, and order support, with rich inline product cards and hard scope enforcement so it refuses anything outside the parts catalog.

Image Shadow Removal Using Non Shadow Mapping

A shadow removal algorithm that detects shadows and lifts them by matching each shadow region to its most similar non-shadow counterpart, then transferring brightness while preserving texture. Detection combines gradient, texture (Texton), and spatial-distance features from mean-shift segmentation with Y-channel and HSI-space brightness cues clustered via k-means. Removal uses HSV histogram matching between each shadow region and its best-matched non-shadow region, followed by boundary smoothing across the seams. Built and evaluated in MATLAB.
