Find My Food
- 1st place, Codebuff Agent Builder Hackathon 2025
- AI agent that finds specific orderable menu items matching dietary restrictions, using memory, web search, and restaurant research subagents.
Experience
-
- Currently building orchestration for data centers at Vaquita Energy.
-
- Built enterprise scoping infrastructure adopted by 15% of customers. Designed a business-unit architecture with modular backend services, MongoDB data models, GraphQL APIs, and internal tooling.
- Led a platform-wide migration from single global scoping to segmented scoping, reducing regressions and unifying behavior across the product; adoption grew into a strategic company initiative post-launch.
- Reduced test-freshness latency from 24 hours to real time by building a trigger that automatically reruns tests after scoping changes.
- Performed load analysis across BullMQ, Redis, SQS, Kafka, and worker systems; implemented deduplication, batching, and TTL strategies to reduce queue pressure.
-
- LP at Mission Street Capital. Investing in early stage founders.
-
- Migrated the Trending endpoint from legacy API to GraphQL, cutting latency by 49% through caching, batching, and business logic optimizations.
- Built the company's first federated GraphQL microservice in Go, resolving longstanding concurrency issues and managing rollout via Kubernetes.
- Delivered the company's first Spellcheck endpoint within a 1-month deadline.
- Boosted NSFW flagging accuracy by 60% by replacing a regex parser with an ML classifier.
- Pioneered backend-driven filters, designing infrastructure for AI-driven query classification and dynamically configurable search layouts (SDUI).
- On iOS, led a 70% conversion of the Objective-C codebase to Swift, integrated the GraphQL Federation API across platforms, and mentored an intern building Remote Logger (Firebase, Sentry, OS Logger).
-
- Part of the inaugural Reddit intern class.
- Built an iOS meme generator, a native picture editor with text and sticker support, async image caching, and binary search for uniform font scaling.

- Built Mappening, a web app aggregating UCLA, Facebook, and Eventbrite events, with an Angular frontend, Mapbox integration, responsive design, and Nginx in Docker.
- Built BruinSpeak, a petition and funding-request platform for UCLA students in Ruby on Rails.
-
- Built Orwell, a visual narrative on social media privacy with real-time eye tracking via Tracking.js, animated Blender eye models in Three.js, and a MongoDB/Node.js backend.
- Built Synaesthetic, an audio visualizer in p5.js, WebGL, and Three.js using frequency spectrum and standard deviation analysis.
