About
Snapshot
Engineer who ships, leads, and simplifies
I care about turning complex ideas into useful products. My strongest work happens at the intersection of engineering, product thinking, and execution speed.
I build with clear constraints: fast load times, clear UX, observable systems, and architecture teams can maintain.
What I optimize for
- Time to value: ship meaningful increments quickly
- Team clarity: reduce handoff friction across roles
- Performance by default: responsiveness over feature bloat
AI Systems
Tool orchestration, practical ML integration, model workflows
Product Engineering
Architecture, delivery, and maintainable implementation
Team Leadership
Direction-setting, mentoring, and shipping as a team

Skills
Breadth matters, but only when it serves delivery. I use this stack to move from prototype to production quickly while keeping systems understandable.
Selected Work
Nexusix
Led end-to-end development of a commissioned social app visualizing user connections via interactive bubbles, delivering a cross-platform MVP for iOS and Android. Implemented scalable backend architecture using Express, Supabase, and PostgreSQL.
Collaborated with cross-functional teams to define product requirements and optimize user experience. The app features an innovative bubble-based visualization system for social connections, with a robust backend infrastructure designed for scalability.
Key Features
Technologies
SFM-MVS for Photogrammetry
Developed a custom BRISK-SIFT feature extraction stack achieving 2.3x faster extraction with 29% more high-quality keypoints. Optimized SFM-MVS pipeline with advanced outlier removal, reducing point cloud noise by 40%.
Research project focused on improving photogrammetry pipeline performance through custom feature extraction and advanced outlier removal. The BRISK-SIFT hybrid approach not only accelerated processing but also improved reconstruction quality, while sophisticated outlier handling significantly enhanced mesh clarity and accuracy.

Looking for an engineering partner?
I work best on products that need clear technical direction, thoughtful UX, and fast iteration. If you're building something ambitious, I'd be glad to help shape and ship it.

Let's build something useful
If you need an engineer who can shape product direction and ship production code, send me a note with what you're building.
I'm especially interested in AI products, developer tooling, and systems that need both strong UX and strong performance.
