Work With Me.
I build some AI, extract business insights, and create something crazy. I like difficult problems, weird ideas, messy data, and turning vague goals into code that actually works.
Software & AI Engineer
Targeting Software Engineer, AI/ML Developer, Backend Developer, and Product Engineer roles.
Data & Technical Business Analyst
Targeting Data Analyst, Business Analyst, Product Analyst, and Technical Product Owner roles.
AI & Backend Systems
Building local AI RAG workspaces, C++20 vector engines, high-concurrency microservices, prompt engineering (Progressive Refinement), and Redis caching layers.
Requirements & Data Insights
Translating vague business requests into groomed backlogs (100+ user stories), K-Means clustering (k=8), Markov journey state transitions, and Business Insight Matrices.
Beyond Work Mindset
Balancing high-intensity software engineering with tactical Chess & Go, Recorder Flute, gaming, building unnecessary tools, and exploring deep internet rabbit holes.
Chess & Go
Training tactical patience, positional advantage, and long-term strategic decision making one move at a time.
Recorder Flute
Practicing breath control, tone control, and acoustic melody away from computer screens.
Building Unnecessary Things
Hacking together weird scripts, small CLI utilities, experimental AI workflows, and single-purpose micro-tools just because it's fun.
Learning Things I Probably Don't Need
Diving into niche computer science topics, historical algorithms, esoteric data structures, and random technical documentation.
Going Down Internet Rabbit Holes
Starting with a simple bug report and ending up reading a 40-page C++ standard paper at 2:00 AM.
Other Questionable Decisions
Testing 15 different dev tools before concluding that a 3-line bash script is all I actually needed.
