Experiences

Position: Software Developer (Full-Time since Nov 2024; Contract Apr 2023 – Oct 2024)

Location: Remote (Washington D.C., United States)

Key Contributions:

• Build and run the LLM side of the platform. Requests route across Anthropic and OpenAI model tiers depending on what the task actually needs, and I count tokens with tiktoken so I know what each feature costs to run.
• Built a content pipeline that checks its own work. A critic model scores every generated draft, rejects the weak ones, and sends them back to be regenerated before anything publishes. That took manual review out of the loop entirely.
• Shipped the WhatsApp and web assistants. They keep a long-term profile of each user's preferences, pulled out of past conversations and merged over time, and handle voice through Whisper and TTS.
• Built semantic matching on embeddings, and an underwriting service where the model has to return structured output that passes schema validation before anything downstream will touch it.
• Wrote the scrapers and cleaning pipeline behind all of it, roughly 50,000 listings a month. Reliability improved about 35% after the consistency checks went in.
• Also lead feature work on the Vue.js and Django platform, and built the React/Vite admin panel the content team uses.

Position: Frontend Lead Developer

• Integrated the staking contracts so fees are handled on-chain, talking to them through their ABIs.
• Project won 🏆 3rd Prize in the AI Track ($15,000) at the Solana Breakout Hackathon, selected from 8,300+ global submissions.
