Experience
Jun 2025 — Aug 2025
Software Engineer Intern
OpenQQuantify
Integrated LLaMA-3 and Mistral-7B into a Python/FastAPI backend to convert natural-language prompts into electronics schematics, containerized with Docker and deployed on Kubernetes.
May 2024 — Aug 2024
Software Engineer Intern
Quadrafort Technologies
Built a full-stack ops dashboard in React, Node.js, and MongoDB, and automated Salesforce lead routing via trigger-driven Apex across multiple enterprise orgs.

Artificial Intelligence Intern
GreyB Services
Built Python NLP classifiers for GreyB's SLATE platform to tag patent abstracts by technology domain using spaCy and scikit-learn.
Jun 2022 — Jul 2022
Software Developer Intern
Curtin University
Developed web applications with Django (back-end) and JavaScript (front-end) — adding features, optimizing database queries, and ensuring responsive design. Partnered with senior faculty on code reviews and iterative improvements.
Nov 2021 — Dec 2021
Product Engineering Intern
NetSet Software Solutions
Designed and built an audiobook web platform with authentication, audio chapter navigation, and real-time listening progress using a Node.js backend and AWS Lambda.
Project work

Gauntlet
An open-source platform that stress-tests AI agents by running 10 adversarial personas against a system prompt or live endpoint. A dual-phase judge (regex pre-filter + LLM-as-judge at temp=0.1) scores responses across a 10-check rubric, and pgvector embeddings flag semantic regressions across prompt versions. Ships with a CLI (npx @trygauntlet/cli) that streams live results over SSE and writes CI-ready Markdown reports.

Flicker
Ingests from five live sources (TMDB, OMDb, YouTube, a Kafka comment stream, and a Postgres CDC feed via Debezium) into a Bronze/Silver/Gold Medallion warehouse on DuckDB and MotherDuck. Airflow drives daily batch jobs and a weekly newsletter, PySpark and dbt handle the transformations. The data is served through a modern Next.js web application built with Recharts.

Conduit
A self-hosted API gateway, built from scratch, that sits in front of your backend services. It handles API key authentication, distributed rate limiting, and traffic routing while providing a real-time dashboard for request logs, latency percentiles, and error rates.

Arcen
A real-time traffic routing simulator built on Manhattan's actual road network. Parses OpenStreetMap data into a custom graph and simulates hundreds of vehicles simultaneously, streaming live positions to the browser at 30fps over WebSocket. Click any two points and Dijkstra, A*, and Bidirectional Dijkstra each race to find the route, showing how many intersections each had to check.

KafkaLink
A hands-on exploration of the Kafka wire protocol in C++, implementing port binding, correlation IDs, and API version negotiation to understand how brokers talk to clients underneath the abstractions.
