Six years building production web systems end to end: multi-brand e-commerce serving 500K+ monthly users, and now the microservices, interfaces, and observability behind a top-10 US bank's collections operation.

Increasingly, the work outside the day job is about the machinery of AI-assisted engineering itself — context management, token economics, and what it actually costs to hold a long agentic session together.

Currently at Capital One, which absorbed Discover Financial Services mid-tenure. Previously Airblox and Publicis Sapient, across backend platforms, frontend architecture, and distributed systems. MS in Computer Science from UIC, 4.0 GPA.

I build systems that think — and think about systems that build. The engineering work and the philosophical inquiry are not separate activities. Advaita Vedanta informs how I understand computation. Compiler theory informs how I understand meaning. Both inform this portfolio.

When I'm not in the codebase: Ghostty + Nushell + tmux, Catppuccin Mocha, JetBrains Mono. A well-configured terminal is a cognitive environment, not just a command interface.
