product engineer.
I build AI products end-to-end — from multi-LLM pipelines and inference cost optimization to the UI and CI/CD. Six startups, one pattern: ship under ambiguity.
ai products, shipped.
DM-first AI wellness companion for gamers on Discord. The crisis-safety layer fails closed and keeps working even when the rest of the stack is down. Hybrid vector and graph memory, no stored transcripts.
Custom multi-LLM orchestration system for automated short-form video editing. Clip selection, captioning, formatting — manual editing reduced from hours to minutes.
Self-hosted open-source AI lab on a zero-trust network — code assistance, image generation, model fine-tuning. Runs on real GPU hardware at home.
Reduced LLM inference costs by 30% by routing deterministic tasks to rule-based handlers and only escalating ambiguous queries to frontier models.

the engineer.
My career spans esports analytics to Web3 data platforms to AI agents and generative-video tooling. I've owned infrastructure as tech lead, cut LLM inference costs by 30% through hybrid routing, reduced API latency by 90% with Redis caching, and executed zero-downtime database migrations on hot tables.
When I'm not at work, I run a self-hosted FOSS AI lab on real GPU hardware — Proxmox, Ollama, ComfyUI, the works. I treat the homelab as a sandbox for the things I'd otherwise have to wait six months to ship at a startup.
