Designing cache semantics and consistency guarantees for critical Google Cloud infrastructure serving x00 million QPS.

If we go down, Google Cloud goes down.

First engineering hire at a YC-backed trucking optimization startup. Built the product and worked on a Python MILP-based optimization engine; helped scale the platform to 10 enterprise customers, over $1M ARR, and $10M in pipeline. Acquired by Optym.

Architected hybrid client/server document generation with S3 caching. Built internal search and filtering tools that reduced manual triage.

Built an operating system for political campaigns. Six California congressional campaigns became paying customers. We grew to $14K ARR in a month. The bet was that AI could help campaigns win, but it was unclear how to turn this into a venture scale company.

Built identification friend or foe (IFF) devices for drones and shipped units to Ukraine for testing. Getting them deployed in the field and selling to government buyers proved difficult.

An AI-powered IDE for mechanical, electrical, and software engineering. You could design a circuit board, write its firmware, and model an enclosure around the board in the same project.

Built a website to help students find internships. 14,000+ user signups and 200 paying customers.
