The Arc

How I got here
  1. 2026

    Built this site

    One repo, one language, one platform, and a blog where the bot drafts and I approve. Every architectural choice is one I can defend out loud, which was the entire point of building it myself.

  2. 2024

    PEAR Health Labs

    Core engineer on an AI fitness platform, partnered with the CTO from concept to production. Conversational coaching for 10,000+ daily users, and a small team I lead on new AI work.

  3. 2023

    Vistry AI

    Founding engineer. Built Eva, an HR assistant that read Fortune 500 employee documents through an OCR and vector search pipeline. Demoed it at CES and SHRM, and watched conference feedback rewrite the roadmap.

  4. 2022

    AIBRT

    Led engineering at a research nonprofit as sole architect of the full stack. A browser extension, a serverless data pipeline, and self hosted storage for sensitive data that could not leave our infrastructure.

  5. 2021

    Research at SDSU

    Undergraduate research assistant, running alongside the degree and the day job. A year of holding questions I could not answer yet, which turned out to be better training than any answer I could have memorized.

  6. 2020

    Proko Tech

    Software engineer, and the first time I wrote code on someone else's deadline, in someone else's codebase. That is the half of the job school never gets around to teaching.

  7. Earlier

    Urumqi to San Diego

    Grew up in Urumqi, moved to the United States, took a computer science degree at San Diego State. The plan was never a title. The plan was to stay curious.
