Previously drove adoption of an integrated K-12 digital learning platform distributed to 100+ institutions over two years, with reported improvements in test scores.”

“Game economy/progression designer for PGA titles who owned equipment and attribute progression plus virtual currency sources/sinks end-to-end. Uses quantitative modeling and telemetry (wallet balances, spending ratios) to tune supply/pricing and hit segment-specific business targets (e.g., conversion and completion-rate goals), and aligns stakeholders via KPI-lift projections and tradeoff-driven presentations.”

“AI/ML engineer who built a production agentic system to automate computational research experiments (simulation execution, parameter exploration, and numerical analysis) and mitigated context-window failures using constrained tool-calling/prompt-chaining patterns in LangChain with OpenAI tool-enabled models. Also has adtech/big-data pipeline experience at InMobi, orchestrating Spark jobs in Airflow to filter bot-like user IDs and publish clean IDs to an online NoSQL store for live serving, plus Apache open-source collaboration experience.”

“Built and deployed a production LLM-driven Dungeons & Dragons game where the model acts as a dungeon master, adding a structured combat system and a macro-state tree to ensure campaigns converge to a clear ending. Fine-tuned Gemini 2.5 Flash on Vertex AI and deployed on GCP with Kubernetes, using RAG over DnD rules/spells plus multi-agent orchestration (intent-based routing between narrative and combat agents) to reduce hallucinations and improve reliability.”
