About

I’m a technical builder who designs, builds, and ships end-to-end systems, from early prototypes to production-ready products. My background spans mobile, XR (AR/VR/MR), and AI-driven systems, where I’ve owned architecture, implementation, and deployment across the full stack. I’ve built complex products independently and in small teams, often operating as the technical decision-maker responsible for turning ambiguous ideas into working software. Previously, I’ve built large-scope systems combining real-time experiences, data pipelines, backend services, and user-facing applications. I focus on practical execution: shipping, learning from real usage, and iterating quickly. I’m especially interested in problems where software must understand human preferences, behavior, or context — and where better systems can meaningfully improve how people make decisions.

Experience

  • Senior Advanced Software Engineer at Light & Wonder
    Jun 2026 - Present · 2 mos

  • Founder & CTO at HomeIQ Suite
    Dec 2025 - Present · 8 mos

    Building HomeIQ Suite, a consumer product focused on helping people find homes that fit how they want to live. I am the sole technical builder, responsible for product design, backend and frontend development, mobile app development (iOS), infrastructure, and deployment. The product centers on capturing user preferences early and using them to recommend homes and neighborhoods more effectively than traditional filter-based search. I’m actively shipping features, validating with real users, and iterating based on feedback. This role involves full ownership of technical decisions, rapid experimentation, and building production-ready systems from zero.
