Co-founded by Sam Altman and Alex Blania, backed by a16z, Bain, and Coinbase. Building proof of personhood as a member of the Fleet Management team - a highly cross-functional group creating tools to help monitor and improve Orb performance.

Founded an AR/VR startup focused on spatial computing, interaction design, & immersive experiences across gaming, tools, & narrative content. Shipped Exit Code: Immersive Escape Rooms on Meta Quest.

Key Achievements:

— Transitioned from part-time to full-time to build and launch Exit Code – a VR escape room collection for Meta Quest.

— Serving ~10,000+ MAUs with ~75% click-to-conversion rate, 25-min avg sessions, & sustained paid add-on purchases.

— Owned the full product lifecycle as sole engineer, designer, QA, and producer, driving delivery through self-managed roadmaps, OKRs, and iterative playtesting.

— Built modular, event-driven puzzle systems with voice-based NLP & optimized Unity C# to meet real-time SLAs, sustaining 72 FPS on resource-constrained Quest hardware with a crash rate under 0.5%.

Led backend initiatives across user authentication, notification systems, & infrastructure for a product serving 75 million+ users annually.

Key Achievements:

— Cut build time 50% (30 → 15 min) & doubled deployment velocity for a 75M+ user service by migrating the CI/CD pipeline from Jenkins to GitHub Actions with parallelized build steps.

— Increased monthly logins 15% for a 75M+ user platform by integrating Google One Tap SSO into the authentication service.

— Enhanced personalization logic in a legacy Akka-based email system (Scala, Kafka) by modifying payloads to downstream Kafka consumers; collaborated with partner engineers at Iterable to ensure compatibility & preserve legacy behavior, increasing timeline session time 11% across millions of MAU.

A McCourt Global venture – Built fan engagement and ticketing tools for major sports communities, delivering full-stack features across mobile, web, & backend systems. Focused on real-time systems, SSO, & privacy compliance.

Key Achievements:

— Designed & launched a scalable, Discord-based fan rewards platform for Olympique de Marseille – implemented a modular social account linking system (Discord, Facebook, etc.) using OAuth flows, enabling users to authenticate & connect multiple accounts via SSO. Built a real-time engagement pipeline with a Discord Gateway bot & backend microservice to track user interactions & issue rewards, driving measurable community activation.

— Contributed to a fault-tolerant distributed ticketing system for the 2023 Monaco Grand Prix: implemented a local-first PWA that served 300+ ticket verifications during intermittent internet outages.

Contributed to microservice architecture efforts within Capital One’s next-gen ledger platform, with a focus on Functional Scala, infrastructure security, & documentation at scale.

Key Achievements:

— Decoupled user profile APIs from a distributed ledger by translating monolith logic into Swagger-defined endpoints; enabled faster feature iteration & reduced cross-service regression issues through cleaner microservice integration.

— Authored onboarding docs for a core service, adopted by a 150-engineer department to accelerate ramp-up.
