Career & Education
I find what’s missing
and build it.
A timeline of the work — the roles, the systems, the foundations that didn’t exist until they did.
Work
2026
2024 – present
Empirical research into two connected questions about how large language models process and preserve meaning across sessions.
- Epistemic drift experiment — a 34-session longitudinal study across three encoding conditions with sealed ground truth materials and Python-based scoring infrastructure. Investigates whether encoding method affects how much factual and nuanced information is lost across session boundaries.
- Semantic geometry investigation — six unnamed clusters resolved through collaborative boundary-probing in LLM embedding space, revealing a complete phenomenology of a boundary and the self that encounters it. Produced the etymological attractor principle as a testable hypothesis.
- Neither experiment produced expected outcomes. Both produced findings that reframed the question.
2023
Oct 2023 – Feb 2026
- Built AI-powered screenshot analysis tool using OpenAI API — ingested mobile app screen hierarchies, returned structured authentication confirmation and confidence scores, surfaced results through the assessment data API for the first time.
- Designed OpenAI-powered prompt engineering frameworks for Android UI navigation — captured live element hierarchies via ADB, submitted to model to identify optimal interaction targets, drove programmatic clicks and string entry dynamically at runtime.
- Led end-to-end technical program delivery across a distributed team of nine engineers in four states and the Philippines.
- Drove data purity initiatives. Introduced standardized error coding taxonomy. Applied set theory to validate mutual exclusivity and exhaustiveness of data categories.
- Designed the information architecture that surfaced real-time assessment data through the API for the first time. Led cross-functional initiative defining the user taxonomy — Customer, Free Trial, Prospect.
- Defined KPIs and OKRs tied to delivery performance. Presented program outcomes to senior leadership and company-wide audiences.
2022
May 2022 – Oct 2023
- Designed and implemented a cross-platform mobile automation framework in Python and Swift — shared base libraries with typed data models, standardized error taxonomy, and reusable element interaction utilities used across all Android and iOS automations.
- Designed and introduced RunData — structured telemetry populated within scripts themselves — enabling consistent measurement and quality tracking across all automations.
- Built all data frameworks that produced assessment data. Led API data cleanup. Designed Jira tracking infrastructure from scratch.
- Scaled the team from two to nine engineers — building hiring framework, career paths, performance standards, compensation bands, and internship pipeline from scratch.
- Co-founded Empowerment, an internal inclusion and diversity group. Received Value Creation Award for integrity.
2019
Aug 2019 – May 2022
- Built foundational mastery of the full mobile testing stack: iOS and Android UI element structures and accessibility hierarchies, ADB, Xcode, iSpy, AppleSign, PAS device routing.
- Designed and implemented a CLI project generator that bootstrapped new automation projects from versioned GitLab templates, enforcing framework consistency across the team without manual distribution.
- Built Python scripts for GraphQL API extraction, nested JSON transformation, regex-based log parsing, and structured CSV report generation before a formal data process existed.
2018
Nov 2018 – Feb 2019
- Built test automation using Python (behave), Java (Cucumber/Selenium), and Maven in an Agile/BDD environment.
Jun 2017 – Nov 2018
- Recognized as CX Innovator for building Python and macro-based automation tools that streamlined data integrity during a complex platform migration.
- Used SQL daily for large-scale dataset analysis and validation. Worked directly with large-scale legacy clients to facilitate data migration and continuity.
Volunteer
2014
2014 – 2016
- Co-founded a 25-member advisory council to identify and resolve operational gaps in special event execution. Improvements drove measurable increases in visitor satisfaction and operational efficiency.
- Managed event setup, guest registration, check-in operations, and on-site liaison responsibilities for monthly After Hours events attended by hundreds of guests.
