Data Engineering · E-Commerce Cumulus Coffee
Lead Shopify developer and growth consultant for a specialty coffee brand. Became the client's preferred developer over their agency through responsiveness and quality.

Voice AI · Research TAMU Voice AI Survey Bot
Built a voice AI phone survey system for Texas A&M University studying flood preparedness. The bot calls real participants, asks survey questions via voice, and records structured responses.
What I did: Designed and built the full voice AI pipeline — ElevenLabs for speech synthesis, custom telephony integration, and response recording. Iterated on interruption handling, response delays, and answer option design with real participant test batches. Managed IRB approval process.

Healthcare · Integrations Citizen Health
Near-full-time contract engagement for a healthcare startup founded by Facebook's 25th employee. Became the critical path for cross-functional launches — what the team called "the curse of competence."
What I did: Built Patient Advocacy Group landing pages and onboarding flows. Implemented SSO (Auth0), identity verification (Persona), email infrastructure (SendGrid/HubSpot/Salesforce), Amplitude analytics, Intercom support, and a Patient App reskin. Full-stack growth engineering across the entire product surface.

AI Architecture · Startup Fable Pets
Built an AI-powered pet chatbot that provided care advice, product recommendations, and habit tracking for dog owners. The architecture was solid — the market wasn't.
What I did: Designed the compositional AI architecture — dynamic prompt assembly, intent handling, product recommendation engine, and memory via Pinecone embeddings. Built the full serverless backend (Lambda + DynamoDB) and Twilio SMS integration. Onboarding flows, CI/CD pipeline, the works.

Hardware · Fabrication denhac Makerspace Portfolio
A collection of physical projects: custom chess sets (resin printed), laser-cut signs, a hand-turned rolling pin from river scrap wood, Burning Man coasters, and more. "Projects with endings are medicine for the soul."
What I did: Trained on and used: resin printer, FDM printer, laser cutter, wood lathe, jointer, planer, router, table saw, and 7-needle embroidery machine. Designed, fabricated, and shipped finished physical pieces — each one complete, done, the opposite of infinite software iteration.

Robotics · Hardware AutoSquirt — Water Spray Robot
A wearable robot for Burning Man: an SO-101 robot arm + motorcycle windshield washer kit mounted on a backpack that tracks people and sprays them with water at the push of a button.
What I did: Co-built the proof of concept at denhac. Integrated the SO-101 robot arm with a windshield washer pump system. 3D-printed all custom mounting components. Designed the self-contained backpack-mounted form factor.
