Technical writerAI/ML developerEngineer

I turn technical complexity into tools people can use.

Chemical engineering rigor, clear technical communication, and production software—brought together to make complex systems understandable and useful.

01 / Selected work

Proof, not promises.

Products and tools built from first sketch through production. Each started with a concrete problem, not a technology demo.

01

AI product · Full-stack

Synaptic Insight Engine

A conversational research tool built around Google Gemini, with persistent sessions, streamed responses, and a Supabase-backed data layer.

Streaming cut perceived response latency by 60%; caching reduced repeat API calls by 40%.

  • JavaScript
  • Node.js
  • Gemini
  • Supabase

AI Image Tagging Tool

A Python CLI that combines CLIP and GPT-4 to analyze, describe, and organize large image collections without manual tagging.

Benchmarked above 85% tag relevance and processes 100 images in roughly five minutes on standard hardware.

  • Python
  • CLIP
  • GPT-4
  • OpenCV
03

Data processing · CLI

Music Library Cleaner

An automation tool for standardizing metadata, finding duplicate audio, and cleaning large music libraries across common file formats.

Supports 95%+ of tested formats and uses audio fingerprinting to identify duplicates beyond filename matching.

  • Python
  • MusicBrainz
  • AcoustID
  • Mutagen

02 / Experience

Engineering habits. Editorial judgment.

My work sits between systems and people: understanding how a complex thing works, then making it clearer, safer, or easier to use.

2024—Now

AI Math Specialist

Outlier AI

Evaluate mathematical reasoning from frontier models, identify failure patterns, and write precise feedback that improves training quality.

2023—Now

Technical Writer

Independent

Create API documentation, user guides, tutorials, and information architecture for software and engineering teams.

2023—Now

Full-Stack Developer

Independent

Design, build, and deploy web applications and Python tools, with an emphasis on useful AI integration and accessible interfaces.

2017—2022

Chemical & Application Engineering

Industry + research

Worked across process optimization, safety, technical documentation, field engineering, and applied research at LSU and industrial sites.

03 / About

Built to work across disciplines.

I started in chemical engineering, where unclear thinking has real consequences. That training still shapes how I work: define the problem, test assumptions, document decisions, and build for the person who has to use the result.

Today I apply that approach to technical writing, AI evaluation, data, and full-stack development. I’m especially interested in roles where strong communication is part of the engineering work—not an afterthought.
