Exploring AI-integrated applications, agent tooling, and data pipelines: technology, insights, and projects that push the boundaries of innovation.

I'm a software engineer building AI-integrated applications, agent tooling, and data pipelines. Winner of Best Technical Implementation at the Walrus Haulout Hackathon 2025, I ship full-stack fast and ground AI output in verifiable data.

## Featured Projects

- [Stockbot](/projects/stockbot/): Local-first AI investment research system giving individual investors hedge-fund-style research infrastructure: a kernel-scheduled agent loop over a typed tool registry, 224 deterministic equity calculations, scheduled market watches with alerts, and a Vite trading terminal. SEC EDGAR, FINRA, 13F, and Robinhood data flow through point-in-time known_at handling, provenance, and DuckDB analytics over Parquet. The model selects bounded tools and explains evidence; code does the arithmetic.
- [JunkFortress](/projects/junkfortress/): Physics-driven browser game. Build a fortress from junk, then defend its core against armed zombies. Supports and chains hold the structure, wood absorbs bullets, and metal ricochets turn zombie fire back on the horde.
- [Project S.O.N.A.R.](/projects/sonar/): Privacy-focused audio marketplace on Sui infrastructure (Walrus storage, Seal access control, Nautilus verifiable compute). Every file quality-verified; buyers receive secure access after purchase.
