    GIC

    AI Engineer

    ● now

    Built an internal agentic CLI agent and a sandboxed Chainlit assistant over proprietary models, with 8 custom tools, multi-agent orchestration, and skill-routing, giving an 11-person team AI tooling where classified-data constraints rule out Copilot. Engineered step-level guardrails via custom hooks that audit and validate every agent action, and designed an agentic audit pipeline that queries Snowflake and SharePoint as tools, runs ETL, and generates audit-ready reports from plain-English prompts, automating two previously manual data sources from hours to near-instant.

    Interactive 3D Lab

    Swift Developer, Apple Vision Pro

    Co-inventor of a multimodal tracking framework (patent application in progress) for hand-eye coordination assessment in stroke rehabilitation, unifying Apple Vision Pro and iPhone into one tracking surface at 89% cross-device accuracy, 30 fps, and sub-millisecond latency (Swift, RealityKit). Ran controlled user studies with healthcare practitioners and iterated system design from empirical findings. Co-author on a research paper in preparation.

Here, currently

On the desk

  • 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

Off the desk

  • badminton on wednesdays
  • three F1 tabs open somewhere
  • chess, mostly blitz, losing honestly
  • photographing whatever the light does
