Hello! I'm a product-minded engineer based in the Bay Area. At IBM, I build and design internal tools used across the organization. Outside of that, I work with small businesses on AI integrations that fit how they operate, and I'm also developing Mirra: a travel app that generates personalized itineraries based on how you actually want to experience a place. I like work where understanding the problem deeply and communicating it clearly matter as much as building the solution.

Founder & Builder · Mirra

Personal Project

Built end-to-end with Claude Code: Next.js frontend, agentic LLM workflows, Google Places API, and multi-model AI integration that turns structured user inputs into mapped, personalized travel itineraries. Designed a two-step generation pipeline that assembles a master place list with neighborhood context, then arranges stops into geographically coherent days. Handles routing logic, itinerary formatting, and real-time place data to produce something that actually feels planned, not just generated.
