Experience

Independent Software Developer — Self-Employed, Charlotte, NC 2025–Present
- Built and deployed La Dolce Vita (ladolcevitabeach.com), a production trilingual web app for a Dominican Republic rental villa, using React, Node.js, and the OpenAI API
- Built an AI guest concierge on GPT-4o with dynamic system prompts that inject live property data and calendar availability at request time
- Parsed an Airbnb iCal feed server-side for real-time booking awareness in both the UI and the AI context
- Connected the Google Sheets API so the client can edit property content without code changes
- Built a Python FastAPI backend for an AI portfolio assistant on the Claude API that also runs as an MCP server, with an SSE channel that lets the model control the live site UI

3rd-degree black belt; developed curriculum roadmaps and student progression systems

Projects

Pneuma-AI — Multi-LLM Compound AI System 2025–Present

Node.js • React • Claude API • OpenAI Embeddings

Compound AI system where LLMs call other LLMs as tools — intent scoring, archetype routing, and generation run as separate model calls within a single agentic pipeline
Semantic archetype routing using cosine similarity over 44 archetype embeddings, with momentum weighting and fusion history for path selection rather than hardcoded dispatch
Agentic RAG over 1,385 passages across 48 thinker knowledge bases, running parallel concept-by-thinker queries across ~80 philosophical concepts with fallback handling for out-of-scope inputs
Tiered system prompt that cuts base token load from ~18k to ~2k through conditional block loading by intent score
Dialectical synthesis engine driven by 98 hand-authored archetype tension pairs across antithetical, complementary, and cross-domain collision modes

NUMENEON — Full-Stack Engineer & UI Lead 2025–2026

React • Django REST Framework • PostgreSQL

Cyberpunk social media platform built as a 5-person team capstone
Led architecture and UI strategy; defined the product roadmap and sized tasks across XL/L/M/S tiers
Built a 3-column timeline with real-time post rendering and a glassmorphic SCSS design system

Pneumata — Lead Developer 2025–Present

Three.js • React • Blender

Interactive 3D anatomy visualization mapping human biological systems to computer hardware architecture
Built 37 navigable organ nodes across 8 system categories, with bidirectional spine-to-organ hover highlighting
Engineered spinal-cord auto-trace by sampling the GLB mesh at runtime, with 24 vertebral discs color-coded by innervated organ system

Xenochi — Lead Developer 2025

Three.js • React Three Fiber • Blender

Tamagotchi-inspired 3D evolution sim with a full Blender → FBX → Three.js animation pipeline (32 rigged animations)
Built a game state machine with stat decay, evolution triggers, and care-cycle progression across 5 stages
Created a hidden Battle Arena in React Three Fiber with 4 interactive 3D scenes and GLSL shader effects
