Computer Science @ CSULB · Software / AI Engineer
Production AI agents · LLM safety & security · Full-stack & backend · Multithreading & concurrency
- 🏢 Software Engineering Intern @ ABB — building a production, ServiceNow-integrated enterprise AI agent that classifies, triages, and auto-resolves support tickets with confidence-based routing.
- 🧠 AI Engineer Intern @ Simmspace.AI — building a developer platform (Simmspace IDE + SimmSilos) on a scalable FastAPI backend, plus a security-focused AI risk layer for code submissions.
- 🔬 Undergraduate Research Assistant @ CSULB (prior) — multithreading, concurrency, and parallel performance in Java & C++.
- 📚 Instructional Student Assistant @ CSULB — helped 200+ students strengthen their Python and math foundations.
- 🎯 I like building at the intersection of AI systems, safety/security, and clean backend design — and I'm always up to learn from open-source and collaborate on impactful projects.

Python · PyTorch · FastAPI · Gemini API
A closed-loop system for network-traffic anomaly detection that trains, evaluates, and reruns experiments to improve accuracy.
- Closed-loop PyTorch training that collects data, evaluates outputs, identifies failure modes, and iterates.
- Integrated the Gemini API to convert detected attack patterns into WAF security rules via confidence-based agent workflows.
- Served low-latency inference through a FastAPI endpoint using ML/NLP techniques for real-time threat identification.
Python · LangChain · ChromaDB · Gemini API · FastAPI
An agentic RAG pipeline that ingests documents and produces grounded, self-evaluated LLM answers.
- Ingests PDF, DOCX, and TXT, generates local embeddings with Sentence Transformers, and retrieves context via ChromaDB.
- Designed self-evaluation and confidence-scoring loops that rerank context, detect failure modes, and iterate for reliability.
- Exposed research workflows through a FastAPI backend with semantic indexing and retrieval-quality evaluation.
JavaScript · Web Audio API · HTML/CSS
A browser-based harmonium simulator with realistic bellows mechanics and multi-octave playback.
- Uses the Web Audio API with gain nodes and reverb for dynamic tone generation.
- Real-time keyboard and mouse controls and a responsive UI for volume, reverb, and octave selection.
Python · OOP · Data Structures
A turn-based battle game showcasing object-oriented design with modular Pokémon, Item, and Player classes, battles, an item shop, and health tracking.
Java · Data Structures · OOP
A bookstore management system using HashMaps, Linked Lists, Queues, and Stacks for efficient search, checkout, and cart operations.
🏢 Software Engineering Intern — ABB · May 2026 – Present · Cary, NC
- Developing a production-facing, ServiceNow-integrated enterprise AI agent to classify, triage, and auto-resolve tickets, targeting a 30% reduction in org-wide ticket volume.
- Designed confidence-based routing: resolves tickets only on strong knowledge-base retrieval, escalating ambiguous cases to humans.
- Built live analytics dashboards over the ServiceNow REST API and instrumented the pipeline with structured logging, tracing, and production metrics.
🧠 AI Engineer Intern — Simmspace.AI · Apr 2026 – Present · Remote
- Building Simmspace IDE and SimmSilos — a platform where admins assign branches/tasks and developers code in isolated silos via a custom VS Code extension.
- Designed a scalable FastAPI backend with JWT auth + refresh flow, RBAC, token-authenticated sync APIs, Redis rate limiting, audit logging, and PostgreSQL.
- Built a security-focused AI risk layer scanning submissions for prompt injection, PII leakage, and hallucination signals; gated PRs via GitHub Actions and Docker.
🔬 Undergraduate Research Assistant — CSULB · May 2025 – Apr 2026 · Long Beach, CA
- Built multithreaded Java/C++ programs to study parallel execution and optimized CPU-bound workloads across thread pools.
- Diagnosed race conditions with thread-safe synchronization and automated benchmark suites in Python/Bash to detect performance regressions.
🤖 Software Engineering Fellow — Headstarter AI · May 2025 – Jul 2025 · Remote
- Built dynamic front-end interfaces with React and TypeScript and a customer analytics tool (Python + React) that cut data processing time by 30%.
- Collaborated with industry mentors on AI-powered, open-source-style projects.
👨🏫 Instructional Student Assistant — CSULB · Jan 2025 – Present · Long Beach, CA
- Designed interactive Python workshops, increasing student engagement by ~15%, and supported 200+ students with targeted feedback.
- Revamped a math support course (50+ new participants) and trained new tutors on teaching strategies.
