Software Engineer, Tech Enthusiast

I’m a Software Engineer at Akkio, where I’m doing full-stack development on the Predictive AI platform of the future. Check us out!

Outside of work, I like to spend time with my girlfriend, go bouldering, hang out with friends, travel, and stay organized with Notion.

Building full-stack functionality for a no-code predictive AI platform set to disrupt the industry and streamline machine learning at scale. I’m specifically responsible for sizeable amounts of work when it comes to developer tooling, DevOps, full-stack work, and more. Here’s a list of my most major accomplishments.

• Matured out our observability capability. I was the driving force behind us adopting Datadog, distributed tracing, structured logging, custom metrics, and just generally improving our ability to detect and rectify bugs without requiring a user report.
• Integrations. I was the architect of our integrations system.
• Chat Explore in Slack. I personally developed our entire Slack integration, which allows users to talk with Chat Explore, our QA + Graphing chatbot, directly from Slack. This involved working through their OAuth process, asynchronous event handling (often called webhooks), and a good chunk of complexity.
• Frontend Modernization. Our frontend stack was quite dated. I did the initial PoC and did quite a lot of work on migrating to Webpack, Modularized Code, and fixing lots of other misguided ways we were doing things.
• Automated Testing + CI. We basically had zero automated suite when I started. As of the time of writing, I’ve led efforts to implement both backend testing via pytest and end-to-end-testing via Playwright.
• Chat Explore Testing: Chat Explore is a no-code way to do data analysis, generating statistics, charts, and graphs, entirely through a Large Language Model (LLM). We had this done well before OpenAI themselves did it with Code Interpreter. I personally built out a test harness for it, dropped our error rates from ~30% to sub-5%, did prompt optimization to make it more accurate with less lag, and much more. </aside>

I am on hiatus as a serial entrepreneur, as I’m quite busy with Akkio above, but I have a history of building out lots of cool stuff in my free time. My projects have received over 10,000 lifetime views and generate $5k+ in yearly revenue. Of note is Offer Optimist, which has residual referral income that funds most of my travel.
