“PhD researcher (University of Utah) who built a production RAG-powered Virtual Reality Research Assistant to answer lab research questions with concrete citations. Implemented an end-to-end LangChain pipeline using PyPDFLoader, chunking strategies, OpenAI embeddings, and ChromaDB, with emphasis on grounding to reduce hallucinations and ensure research-grade accuracy. Collaborated closely with a non-technical PhD advisor to scope requirements, manage cost constraints, and demo iterative progress.”

“Product-minded software engineer who owned a Shopify POS app end-to-end at Swym, shipping an MVP and then scaling iteration speed with E2E automation and CI/CD—resulting in a Shopify Badge, Top-5 App Store ranking, and +40% new user acquisition.
