Portrait

A senior software engineer and solutions architect working across AI systems, distributed platforms, and mobile engineering.

Over the past decade I've designed and implemented software systems across startups and enterprise environments, contributing to projects involving organizations such as Apple, Samsung, IBM and most recently large-scale consumer platforms, global media streaming services, and high-traffic mobile applications used by millions of users worldwide. My work is a mix of backend engineering, mobile platforms, and AI systems. I enjoy building production systems that combine modern infrastructure with practical automation.

AI Agent Orchestration Platform

Forked and extended an open-source AI company orchestration platform into a custom deployment with multi-agent hierarchies, role-based heartbeat systems, and MCP tool integration. Integrated the BMAD methodology with 45+ workflow skills spanning the entire SDLC — from market research and PRD creation through architecture design, story development, and QA. Built a tiered skill variant system that reduces token consumption by 50-87% across agent fleets, and developed custom plugins for MCP bridging, authentication, and workspace initialization. Agents operate autonomously with heartbeat-driven execution, git-tracked workspaces per issue, and budget enforcement.
