“Unity gameplay/AI engineer with driving-simulator experience who re-architected state-based AI using multithreading (including a threaded 2D collision/location checker) to nearly double AI traffic while improving frame rate. Has shipped on a Photon-networked title (Frankie's Revenge / RoboRevengeSquad) and is comfortable debugging tricky multiplayer spawning/movement issues with practical client-server test setups.”

“Robotics software engineer with hands-on sim-to-real experience: built and deployed a reinforcement-learning vision policy at The Boring Company to align a robot end effector to tunnel lining engagement holes, owning the full pipeline (SolidWorks/URDF modeling, PyBullet + Stable-Baselines3 training, and on-machine deployment). Also modified ArduPilot and tested custom drone algorithms via ROS/Gazebo using MAVROS and VICON-based localization.”

“Software developer with healthcare operations experience at Epic Systems (Referrals & Authorizations), delivering customer-facing tooling to speed manual insurance authorization/denial documentation and support future automation. Also supported an HRIS migration to Workday at Aloe Yoga, solving legacy ID interoperability via scripting and mapping, and demonstrates strong production debugging and test-driven maintainability practices.”

“Built and owned "Cortex," an AI agent that helps users understand large GitHub repositories by mapping architecture and relationships between files/folders in minutes. Implemented an agentic, multi-stage prompt decomposition approach and validated it across open-source repos, while also doing legacy service modernization work involving dependency upgrades and refactors.”
