Engineer, educator, and builder with 6 years shipping web applications — from custom WordPress themes and government-facing tools for the Florida Department of Transportation (via Global-5) to no-code AI agents on the Internet Computer. Currently Evangelist at DFINITY, teaching non-coders to build with Caffeine AI, and founder of Armacore (2026) — AI that actually gets things done: encrypted memory, intelligent recall, automations scheduled by phone or chat, running 24/7.
Experience
Evangelist
DFINITY Foundation · Full-time · San Francisco, CA
- Build internal tools and launched Caffeine apps in the app market — building in public and showcasing what's possible on the Internet Computer. Stack: Motoko canisters, TypeScript + React front-ends.
- Design AI automation setups and voice-agent pipelines — Claude Code for agent tooling, Deepgram for speech-to-text, ElevenLabs and Cartesia for text-to-speech.
- Manage the Discord community and provide Caffeine AI support — escalate product issues to the engineering team.
- Run vibe-coding workshops teaching non-coders to ship real web apps using Caffeine AI; 1-on-1 calls, tutorials, AMAs and live demos.
- Helped colleagues install OpenClaw safely and ran an OpenClaw-powered bot that managed the Discord — this hands-on experience exposed OpenClaw's degrading-memory problem and inspired me to build Armacore (context-aware recall, not context-dumping).
- Collect builder feedback and channel it to product + engineering; identify key user groups and help them get the most out of the platform.
