Software Engineer | Building AI Tools & Agents | OSS Contributor | Community Organizer
I'm a full-stack software engineer currently focused on building AI agent tools and organizing developer events in the Bay Area.
Recently, I've been contributing to open-source initiatives like SAFE-MCP and co-hosting AI agent hackathons through The AI Agents Community. My work blends my passion for building with a deep curiosity about how AI can empower developers.
When I'm not coding, I train for endurance races. I've completed multiple Ironman 70.3 events and I bring the same persistence and systems thinking into my tech projects.
