My Experience

AI Engineer

May 2026 – Present

GreenGrowth CPAs · Irvine, CA

  • •Own design and development of an AI-powered financial and tax processing system in Rust and Python on AWS — implementing AI for payments workflows, building REST APIs and data pipelines, and shipping production backend services end to end.
  • •Build automation workflows and third-party integrations, collaborating directly with leadership in a fast-moving environment.

Teaching Assistant (Software Development)

Mar 2023 – Dec 2023

University of California, Riverside · Riverside, CA

  • •Directed discussions and labs for 200+ students on software development in C++, Java, and Python — covering OOP, design patterns, data structures, algorithms, and the full SDLC.
  • •Led instruction on Agile/Scrum, Git workflows, debugging, and unit testing; mentored teaching assistants and reinforced production-quality code standards in code reviews.

My Projects

Anime Rater

Production social rating app whose ETL pipelines process 100k+ records with idempotent upserts — Next.js frontend, Fastify REST API, index-optimized PostgreSQL, RBAC auth, and Claude API-powered automation, deployed with Docker and GitHub Actions CI/CD.

doc-pilot — AI Document Intelligence

AI document-processing platform where a Claude vision model extracts structured data from messy receipts and invoices — per-field confidence routes uncertain values to a human review queue, corrections flow back into a field-level eval harness (99.4% accuracy, ~$0.01/doc, cost and latency tracked per document), all backed by a Postgres SKIP LOCKED job queue, 212 tests, CI, and a one-command Docker Compose stack.

About Me

I’m a Software Engineer with a passion for building efficient, user-centric applications.

I hold a Master of Science in Computer Science from UC Riverside, and since graduating I’ve been designing, building, and deploying full-stack applications end to end — from AWS-hosted production apps to algorithm visualization platforms.

When I’m not coding, you’ll find me playing video games, going to the gym, and watching anime.
