Product-minded agentic engineer. I design and ship software with teams of AI agents. Santa Clara University.
Agent-to-agent planning on iPhone. Friends' on-device agents negotiate plans phone to phone over Wi-Fi Aware, trading only typed values like time slots and budgets. A deterministic policy, not the model, decides what leaves each phone.
Swift · Foundation Models · Wi‑Fi Aware · NoiseBuilt in one week by directing parallel AI coding agents: 99 merged PRs, 1,749 tests, 79 decision records.
GitHub ↗︎How it was built ↗︎Encrypted messaging that works without the internet. Nearby iPhones relay messages over a Bluetooth mesh, and an optional relay bridges them across the internet without holding any decryption keys. ESP32 LoRa nodes for long-range links are in development.
Swift · CryptoKit · Rust · ESP32Three open-source repos: the iOS app, a Rust relay, and ESP32 firmware, with 100+ automated tests and CI builds for four firmware targets.
iOS app ↗︎Relay ↗︎Firmware ↗︎Local-first, encrypted file storage. A file becomes erasure-coded shares plus a small capability that unlocks it; any three of every five shares rebuild it. Devices sync peer to peer over a trusted LAN, with no account or server.
Rust · QUIC · BLAKE3 · Reed–Solomon300+ automated tests; on every push, CI rebuilds a 5 MiB file after deleting two of every five shares.
GitHub ↗︎Built the founding engineering pipeline for Bettermill, an AI-native venture studio launching software businesses run by autonomous agents. Recruited engineers across the Philippines through partnerships with the UP system, Ateneo, DOST, IBPAP, and DEVCON Manila, and designed an aptitude assessment for AI-first roles that measures judgment in candidates who use frontier models throughout.
Led product research for a new venture: identified target customers, defined core use cases, and mapped user journeys. Used cost-benefit analysis and market segmentation to turn findings into direction for technical prototypes.
Three summers in the Hawaiʻi Invertebrate Program: researched rehabilitation methods for endangered insects, documented wild orangeblack Hawaiian damselflies, and raised endangered moths.
Helped rehabilitate injured animals at a wildlife rescue center in Puerto Viejo, gathered their food from the surrounding jungle, and worked with visiting tour groups.
Leavey School of Business, with a minor in Computer Science. The University Honors Program is a selective seminar curriculum, and the Ciocca Center Mindset Scholars program is a two-year entrepreneurship track with a course in each of the university's schools.
Placed first in Washington State in policy debate, arguing from research on fiscal policy.
