I am a software engineer at UC Berkeley's Goldman School of Public Policy, where I serve as the primary engineer for multiple production systems.My work centers on applied AI, where I have built and optimized RAG pipelines and LLM-powered tools that help connect users to GSPP.

I designed and built a production RAG chatbot end-to-end: architecting the document ingestion, chunking, embeddings, vector storage, and retrieval pipeline integrated with AWS Bedrock for LLM inference. I identified and fixed a bug in the AWS PHP SDK's streaming integration with Bedrock that was merged into the official repository. I also built the embedded React/TypeScript chat widget for a public-facing AI system and later assumed ownership of its Python backend, debugging infrastructure issues and hardening security.

Before becoming a full stack developer, I taught high school English and Instrumental Music for 8 years. This experience has informed how I mentor junior developers, break down ambiguous requirements, and think carefully about the people who use what I build.
