About
I'm a backend & systems engineer, increasingly focused on AI/ML-platform work, who likes building things that run reliably — REST APIs, command-line tools, and the data layers behind them. Most of my work is in Go and Python, backed by PostgreSQL, Redis, and MongoDB.
I care about correctness under concurrency, clean API design, and code that's easy to reason about months later. Lately I've been going deeper on applied AI — LLM tooling and agent workflows — and the infrastructure that keeps backend services healthy.
The projects below are things I've built to learn by doing — Deputy has a browser walkthrough, and JobOps has a live read-only sample dashboard. Always happy to talk backend, Go, or systems work.

Projects
Deputy
On-Device AI Agent · Python
// A private, on-device AI agent whose Python/Ollama core uses constrained decoding to lift end-to-end task success 29% → 88% on qwen2.5:3b (schema-valid steps 71% → 100%). It adds MCP tools, on-device RAG, approval gates for writes and external access, and an append-only audit log. The browser link is a scripted walkthrough by default, with optional experimental WebGPU inference.
JobOps Pipeline
Job Sourcing + Outreach · Python
// A daily job-ops pipeline with parallel async fetch across 15+ job boards and ATS APIs, fresher/geo/salary filters, tiered scoring, optional LLM JD enrichment, and bidirectional Google Sheets tracking — then contact lookup with review-before-send outreach drafts. The browser link serves read-only sample data.
Chirpy
Backend REST API · Go
// A production-style microblogging API in Go: JWT auth with refresh-token rotation, Argon2id-hashed passwords, a type-safe SQLC data layer over PostgreSQL, Goose migrations, and a Polka webhook for premium upgrades.
CLI-Agent
AI Coding Agent · Python
// A Python CLI agent that reads, patches, and runs code autonomously using Gemini function-calling in a plan–act–observe loop, capped at five iterations per task.
Gator
CLI RSS Aggregator · Go
// A terminal RSS aggregator with per-user feeds and a long-running worker that fetches the least-recently-updated feed on a ticker. PostgreSQL storage with a type-safe SQLC layer and Goose migrations.
Smart Food Waste Management
Applied ML · Raspberry Pi
// A Raspberry Pi system that identifies users and estimates food waste using a load cell, dual cameras, HOG face recognition, and a YOLOv11 food-detection model.
