GIC
AI Engineer
● nowBuilt an internal Claude Code-style CLI agent from scratch on Chainlit with modular tool-calling and a skill-routing system over proprietary models. Adopted by 100% of my team as the primary AI interface where classified-data constraints rule out Copilot. Also deploying agentic LLM pipelines that automate internal audit workflows end-to-end; two previously manual data sources now run effectively instantly.

Interactive 3D Lab
Swift Developer, Apple Vision Pro
Co-inventor of a patent-pending multimodal tracking framework for hand–eye coordination assessment in stroke rehabilitation, unifying Apple Vision Pro and iPhone into one tracking surface at 89% cross-device accuracy (Swift, RealityKit). Ran controlled user studies with healthcare practitioners and iterated system design from empirical findings. Paper in preparation.

Here, currently
- building an agentic CLI tool at GIC
- reading Designing Data-Intensive Applications
- optimizing a reasoning pipeline on clause-extracted data
- drafting a paper on multimodal hand tracking for stroke rehab
- badminton on wednesdays
- three F1 tabs open somewhere
- chess, mostly blitz, losing honestly
- photographing whatever the light does
If any of this reads like something you'd want to talk about, models, optimization, pipelines, or a quiet photograph, write to me. I reply.
