Engineering Approach
How I approach engineering
I connect a cognitive science and machine learning background with practical full-stack software work.
I studied Cognitive Science at UC San Diego with a specialization in Machine Learning and Neural Computation, plus a Computer Science minor. That background makes me think a lot about how people reason, how systems learn, and how interfaces can make complicated work feel clearer.
In practice, I use that foundation to build software: full-stack apps, database-backed workflows, document intelligence tools, AI-assisted interfaces, and evaluation-heavy projects where the output needs to be understandable and useful.
Each area is a way I turn background knowledge into working software: full-stack systems, structured data flows, applied AI, and careful technical evaluation.

Software Developer Intern
Millenia Ventures
Software Engineering / Data Automation
Built the first structured technical system for an AI fundraising intelligence platform, spanning PostgreSQL schema design, AI/OCR extraction, validation workflows, dashboard flows, and stakeholder review.
- Designed PostgreSQL-backed workflows for founder records, investor records, source documents, extracted fields, review status, correction states, and dossier outputs.
- Automated review of 1,000+ founder/company source files, cutting manual document review from 5 hours to 20 minutes through structured JSON extraction and source evidence tracking.
- Built an investor-founder matching algorithm that surfaces 50,000+ investor candidates using spreadsheet ingestion, business-data APIs, semantic embeddings, filters, keyword overlap, and weighted scoring.
