I build production AI systems.

Software engineer focused on AI agents, retrieval systems, and the backends that make them reliable. Currently at Paiv — building Bugle on the side.

Bugle

An AI agent that knows hunting law — and predicts your draw odds.

A conversational research assistant over the hunting & trapping regulations of four states, with cited sources and a Monte Carlo engine that simulates draw odds years into the future. Built solo, end to end.

Paiv

Production AI agent that validates insurance-claim estimates in real time.

At Paiv I built and own the backend powering a text + voice AI agent that catches missing photos, details, and documents before insurance estimates reach third-party reviewers — and set the team's standard for how agents are engineered.

Who I am

I went from new grad to the last engineer standing on a production AI system — fast.

I build across the whole stack, but my edge is making AI actually work in production: agents, retrieval, evals, and the reliable backends underneath. I learn things quickly and ship them, and I care about correctness and craft in equal measure.
