shipped 5 products. zero were assigned. looking for a team that moves fast and regrets it productively.
↳
Think in products, ship in code. Before the schema, there's a user. Before the function, there's a metric. Before the deploy, there's a “does this need to exist?” — most engineers skip that question. I've learned not to.
↳
I ship AI products end-to-end— from competitor analytics to a faith-first companion app to terms you don't have to read. If it breaks in prod, I've already met it.
↳
Research detour: Long waits for the right label. Spent 9 months on C‑MAT — pics + squiggles to one readout; ~$6 to train, works when data is messy, 1,100+ people across 7 countries. Second opinion for doctors — still lab, not sci-fi.
↳
Off keyboard: strong coffee, training that hurts on purpose, and a loose goal of 10k steps so my brain remembers I have legs. Founder mode is just endurance with better tooling.
↳
Credibility that stuck: TA'd Python and biology at Vertical Horizon — recursion for people who'd never touched a semicolon. Harder than a clean deploy; worse logs.

- ↳wrapping up my undergraduate thesis on multimodal neural networks. ~$6 to train. 1,100+ subjects. still processing that.
- ↳actively looking for a full-stack / AI engineering role. remote-friendly, fast-paced, ship-things-that-matter type of team.
- ↳reading about LLM cost optimisation because turns out 'just cache it' is genuinely good advice.
