I'm a 23-year-old developer based in Fairfax, passionate about building systems that actually work in the real world.
I work across full-stack development, distributed systems, and AI—designing end-to-end applications from backend infrastructure and APIs to user-facing interfaces. Recently, I’ve been focused on building evaluation systems for LLMs, where I analyze how models fail (hallucination, reasoning gaps, retrieval errors) and improve their reliability at scale.
I enjoy solving problems that sit at the intersection of systems, data, and real-world impact.

Building TraceDog, an LLM evaluation & observability system to analyze how AI models behave in real-world applications.
It decomposes outputs into verifiable claims, scores correctness and groundedness, and traces execution across prompts, retrieval, and tools.
→ Reduced hallucination from ~38% → ~12% using retrieval-grounded validation
→ Enabled cross-model evaluation (OpenAI, Claude, Gemini, LLaMA) under identical inputs

Built and scaled an AI SaaS CAPTCHA-solving platform with full-stack architecture and distributed processing.
→ Scaled to 1M+ API requests/day (2.8M peak) across 330+ users
→ Generated ~$20K+ revenue with high-concurrency, low-latency systems
→ Reduced latency ~7s → ~1s (~85%) using caching + async pipelines
