Chief Technology Officer & Full-stack Engineer
Building intelligent systems at the intersection of AI and software engineering. Currently studying AI and Statistics & Machine Learning at Carnegie Mellon University, and leading technical development at Basics.
About
I'm a developer and entrepreneur passionate about building intelligent systems that solve real-world problems. Currently pursuing a BS in AI and Statistics & Machine Learning at Carnegie Mellon University (Expected May 2028, GPA: 3.5), where I'm focusing on creating scalable AI-powered applications that make technology more accessible and intuitive.
As Chief Technology Officer at Basics, I'm leading the development of an AI-powered learning platform that validates MLOps work completion and automates training content creation. Previously, I've built enterprise AI solutions at Karini AI, developed intelligent recruiting tools at Sparo, and conducted medical AI research at Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center.
I specialize in full-stack development with Next.js, React, and Python, alongside deep experience in AI/ML frameworks like LangChain, LangGraph, PyTorch, and LLM integrations. My technical expertise spans from building conversational AI systems and computer vision applications to scalable backend infrastructure with Go, Node.js, and cloud platforms like AWS and Azure.
Experience
- Developed real-time monitoring infrastructure that tracks MLOps execution across development environments, leading to a $5K pilot customer acquisition in under 2 months
- Architected automated content generation system using LangGraph that transforms unstructured company data into validated workflows, cutting content creation time from 40+ hours to under 2 hours
- Drove early-stage growth through rapid product iteration and customer discovery, reaching YC final-round interviews and securing 1st place at Pittsburgh pitch competition
- Created MCP Registry™ platform managing governance for 30+ production servers across 10+ enterprise clients, streamlining security deployments from days to minutes
- Architected Microsoft Teams AI integration for enterprise client processing 1,000+ documents with sub-2 second response times and 95%+ accurate citations
- Enhanced multi-agent system reliability through A2A protocol integration and Ragas evaluation framework implementation in LangGraph architecture
- Designed and implemented automated LinkedIn data extraction system processing 1,000+ profiles at 120 profiles/hour with 98% accuracy, eliminating 85% of manual research overhead
- Developed intelligent matching algorithms leveraging connection mapping to identify networking opportunities, boosting candidate placement success rate by 30%
- Designed Wasserstein GAN architecture with gradient penalty for generating synthetic colorectal tissue images from omics data, using spectral normalization to improve training stability
- Optimized HPC workflows on Slurm clusters for whole slide image processing, achieving 40% performance improvement through distributed parallel processing of terabyte-scale datasets
