Experience

Jun 2026 - Present

Automation Analyst

Redwood Credit Union · Napa, CA

Design and build an internal AI knowledge agent on Azure AI Foundry using Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) over the credit union's Confluence knowledge base, giving staff cited answers to policy and procedure questions; now in pilot with internal users.
Build an AI incident-report agent that guides team members through structured incident intake and drafts reports for review, cutting manual write-up time.
Architect the agent to serve both internal and member-facing questions with security trimming, PII redaction, Microsoft Entra ID single sign-on, and role-based access control, keeping member nonpublic personal information (NPI) out of the model by design.
Automate back-office workflows with UiPath robotic process automation (RPA), replacing repetitive manual processing for operations teams.
Partner with information security, compliance, and operations stakeholders on data handling, audit logging, retrieval evaluation (golden question set plus an acronym glossary layer), and model governance in a regulated financial institution.

Feb 2026 - Present

Founder and Lead Engineer

Armacore (independent venture, armacore.ai) · San Francisco Bay Area, CA

Shipped a production AI agent platform (React, TypeScript, Motoko on the Internet Computer) with encrypted long-term memory, intelligent recall, 25+ integrations, scheduled automations, and delivery over web chat, Telegram, Discord, Slack, and voice; 11 production canisters serving live users.
Built a real-time voice agent pipeline (Twilio, LiveKit Agents, Deepgram, Claude, Cartesia) with sub-500 ms time to first token, deployed on Kubernetes with live-call listen, whisper, and take-over supervision.
Designed a 3-stage deterministic intent router (pattern, keyword TF-IDF, embedding similarity) that resolves roughly 95% of requests without an LLM call, cutting inference cost and latency.
Enforced tool-use safety with prompt-level access control plus server-side validation of every tool call, so prompt injection cannot bypass policy; ICRC-3 compliant, verifiable audit log.

Sep 2025 - Apr 2026

Developer Evangelist

DFINITY Foundation · San Francisco, CA

Designed and delivered 2 hands-on workshops in which about 30 first-time builders shipped working web apps with Caffeine AI; produced tutorials, AMAs, and live demos for the developer community.
Built and launched internal tools and public Caffeine apps (Motoko canisters, TypeScript and React front ends), and designed AI automation and voice-agent reference pipelines (Claude Code, Deepgram, Cartesia).
Managed the Discord developer community: triaged product issues to engineering, unblocked builders in 1-on-1 calls, and ran an OpenClaw-powered moderation bot.
Built the OpenClaw Sovereign Memory Plugin (end-to-end encrypted AI memory on the Internet Computer using vetKeys); widely adopted in the OpenClaw community and the origin of Armacore.
