The record

  1. Recurly

    Software Engineer Intern

    May 2026 to Aug 2026

    Broomfield, CO

    A summer on internal agent tooling for the engineering and go-to-market teams.

    • Three things shipped, none of them customer-facing: the platform that takes a written requirement to merged pull requests, a Slack assistant that researches an account before a call, and a pipeline that answers an inbound form with a written analysis of that prospect’s business.
  2. Checkpoint

    Co-founder & CTO

    Feb 2026

    My own company.

    • Checkpoint CI/CD for AI agents. Adversarial test suites that run before an agent ever meets a user.
  3. QualGent

    Software Engineer Intern

    Sep 2025 to Dec 2025

    San Francisco, CA

    Reported to the CTO at a YC X25 company, taking agent infrastructure from prototype into production.

    • Built App Crawler, which walks an Android app screen by screen and writes down how it works, and the backend that runs it unattended across a fleet of emulators.
    • Built the QA assistant the company sells on: one chat box over 45 tools and sub-agents.
  4. Purdue University

    Software Engineer, AI Research

    Aug 2024 to Present

    West Lafayette, IN

    Applied ML research where interpretability, privacy and whether a clinician would trust the answer matter as much as accuracy.

    • CLIP-H, on interpretable clinical prediction, with Purdue and Harvard Business School faculty. Under review at a NeurIPS 2026 workshop, so it stays at that level here.
    • A clinical assistant nurses tested across Indiana hospitals. About 40% less documentation time, and it runs on the hospital’s own hardware.
    • Presented at the Purdue Spring Research Conference.
  5. Microsoft

    Software Engineer, Microsoft Research Collaboration

    Aug 2024 to May 2025

    West Lafayette, IN

    Owned the LLM pipeline and the distributed infrastructure under it.

    • Read a few million social posts about Minecraft and A Minecraft Movie for sentiment. The results went to Microsoft product and marketing leadership.
  6. Independent

    Independent build

    Oct 2024 to Aug 2025

    Built on my own, start to finish.

    • WalleX An AI wallpaper app with nine image models. My first product with real users in it.
    • LLM Multi-Agent QA System Give it a plain-English task on an Android phone, like find the best pizza place near me and start Google Maps to it, and it does it. Four agents plan, execute, verify and supervise the run.
