## Work Experience
### Founding Engineer @ Originalis AI
Jan 2025 – Present | New York, New York, United States
Originalis cuts through the back-office noise, streamlining venture workflows and putting the deal back in the investor’s hands.

Still in the Bay, but flying into NYC often 


Agents, workflows, agents, workflows, agents… 
backend, flirt with some front end
And more agents 

As a founding engineer, I’ve:
1. Built investment memo and due diligence automation using agentic, LLM-orchestrated software systems
2. Developed systems for intelligent data room analysis and signal extraction
3. Automated the tracking and management of due diligence workflows across deals
4. Network intelligence modules
5. And a whole lot more Agentic magic

### Senior Software Engineer @ Celona
Jan 2019 – Jan 2025 | Campbell, California, United States
Celona is a privately held VC backed growth stage start up company located in the heart of the Silicon Valley. I was one of the original 10 employees.

Original author of many core product software services at Celona from the very first import line in 2019 to the latest commits in 2024. Focused on various crucial engineering projects:
1. Management Plane Functions between edge core and APs (cell towers)
2. Self Organizing Network design
3. End to end telemetry pipeline platform implementation
4. Full stack development work on the cloud 
5. Channel planning tools
6. Direct communication with our customers in both a support function and solutions engineering function
7. And many other things I have been fortunate enough to reach into the cookie jar and try
