01/about

AI systems that actually ship.

I build AI systems that ship to real users — not demos. At COROS I'm the founding engineer on a 24/7 LLM-powered coaching platform for professionals and leaders: multi-provider failover, a professional ElevenLabs voice clone, AI guardrails blocking harmful coaching advice, an anonymous evaluation engine giving coaches visibility into their performance, and the iOS + Android app I shipped end-to-end. Before that at PRIV I scaled a high-traffic on-demand beauty marketplace across 35+ U.S. cities. I care about latency budgets, hallucination guards, and the UX details that make AI feel like a trusted advisor rather than a search box.

Platforms Shipped
  • Designed and built COROS's 24/7 AI coaching platform from zero — a microservice backbone serving professionals, founders, and leaders with LLM-powered coaching conversations at scale.
  • Cut coaching AI response latency from 27–32s to 6–10s via semantic search optimization, making real-time dialogue feel natural rather than transactional.
  • Engineered a multi-type memory system tracking user moods, aims, and key relationships across seven life dimensions — with topic isolation and time-based decay to prevent cross-session context bleed.
  • Built automatic LLM failover across OpenAI, DeepSeek, Together AI, and Llama — when the primary provider goes down, a backup activates with zero downtime and zero developer intervention.
  • Produced a professional-grade ElevenLabs voice clone end-to-end — from studio recording pipeline to production deployment — delivering human-like speech quality inside the coaching experience.
  • Implemented AI guardrails to detect and block harmful or inappropriate coaching advice before delivery, ensuring every response meets responsible AI standards.
  • Built an anonymous coach evaluation engine surfacing session quality metrics and improvement insights — giving coaches visibility into their performance without exposing user data.
  • Hardened the platform with security layers across auth, data access, and LLM API boundaries to protect sensitive coaching conversations.
  • Shipped the COROS iOS + Android app end-to-end — owned the full CI/CD pipeline and App Store / Play Store release lifecycle from build to production.
  • Slashed GCP spend with request-based instance scaling and per-endpoint resource budgets.
