Experience

AI Full Stack EngineerEdelman

  • Independently architect, build, and self-host full-stack AI applications end to end — React, Next.js, Tailwind, and shadcn on a Supabase (PostgreSQL) backend, deployed on AWS EC2 — for client teams serving Fortune 100 companies such as Samsung, Johnson & Johnson, and CVS.
  • Built an automated media-monitoring pipeline that scrapes top-tier outlets like The New York Times and The Wall Street Journal and uses LLMs with structured output to classify coverage and model topics, with human-in-the-loop review so strategists can validate and refine results.
  • Partner directly with internal teams to gather feedback and iterate quickly, developing AI-natively with tools like Cursor and Claude to ship and refine features rapidly.

Lead Software EngineerRadius

  • Founded and led the company's first software engineering team, hiring, mentoring, and establishing the engineering practices and architecture used to scale solutions across the organization.
  • Built a full-stack application (Python, React) integrating OpenAI's LLM to automate coding of thousands of open-ended survey responses, with analysts reviewing outputs in a human-in-the-loop workflow.
  • Shipped a statistical-toolkit app deployed on Linux via a REST API, improving a five-person analytics team's efficiency by 20%.

Full Stack EngineerRadius

  • Built and deployed a market-simulation app — still in use by clients such as CVS, Johnson & Johnson, Procter & Gamble, and L'Oréal — on a Linux cloud server.
  • Replaced an Excel-based system with a custom project-management app for 200+ projects, featuring Salesforce integration, automated reporting, and change tracking (MySQL backend).

Statistical AnalystRadius

  • Automated multivariate statistical techniques in Python (NumPy, scikit-learn), improving analyst efficiency by 15%.
