Software Engineer · New Jersey

I ship mobile apps and the tools teams run on.

I shipped an Android launcher to Google Play on my own, backend included, and for the past year I've been the only engineer at a construction company, shipping 30+ internal tools. AI is part of how I work: Claude Code is my daily workflow, and I build agent systems of my own.

Side projects

Agentic Trading Desk

Paper trading only · Python, Claude, Streamlit

A team of Claude agents (technical, news, risk, portfolio manager) that research and debate stock ideas. A separate rule-based layer places the orders and enforces hard risk limits the agents can't override, backed by an audit log and tests of the safety limits.

Let's build something.

I'm open to full-time and contract roles in AI/agent engineering, mobile, and full-stack TypeScript, remote or hybrid around NYC and Philadelphia.
