Founding Engineer — Stardrift
2025–
Joined as the first employee on a three-person team and took an AI travel agent from early prototype to a web and iOS product with 10,000+ users; built many of the core systems and features end to end, and worked directly with users to decide what to build next.
Conceived and built the iOS app (React Native/Expo), from first commit to the App Store.
Built an eval harness that replays production conversations to backtest and regression-test changes to the core agent loop and harness. Used it to replace an overbuilt 19-tool itinerary editor with one document the model edits: fidelity rose from 80% to 97%, with 85% fewer tokens per edit.
Built the agent's context engine and conversation compaction, restructuring threads to optimize token caching and reducing tool outputs by up to 7x.
Implemented resumable LLM streaming: agent turns run on background workers that write to Redis Streams, and clients reconnect mid-turn without losing output. Write-up featured in TLDR AI (Dec 2025).
Computer Vision Software Engineering Intern — Kooick AI
2024–2024
Developed localization system for products in smart retail shelf. Used classic vision and SOTA AI to derive the location of items, enabling more robust classification results through a multiple view system and increased generalizability.
