Work

Turning AI into things people can actually use.

I’m a forward-deployed AI software engineer at Threekit, with an M.S. in Computer Science & Engineering from Notre Dame. I work between clients and code: figuring out what people actually need, then building it.

§01Experience

Where I’ve been building.

  1. Nov 2025 – Present

    AI Software Engineer (Forward-Deployed)

    Threekit · Chicago, IL

    Forward-deployed engineer on high-stakes client work: I join client meetings to scope requirements, then build and ship the solution.

    • Built and owned the pre-sales demo solo that helped close a ~$500K ARR account, and now serve as technical lead on that relationship.
    • Build AI-powered product discovery: embedding pipelines for AI search, configurable product logic, and real-time image recognition.
    • Engineer CPQ/CRM features on a multi-tenant Postgres platform, from schema and migrations to OAuth and role-scoped permissions, plus CI/CD and releases on Cloud Run and Cloudflare.

  2. Jun 2025 – Oct 2025

    Management Trainee

    McMaster-Carr · Elmhurst, IL

    Used LLMs and data to improve product compatibility across McMaster-Carr’s online catalog.

    • Scaled compatibility frameworks across 1,000,000+ product pairs with SQL, Python, and the ChatGPT API.
    • Cut runtime and API costs ~60x (hours to minutes) by replacing repeated LLM calls with tabling and scripting.

  3. Jun 2024 – Aug 2024

    Software Engineering Intern

    Northrop Grumman · Rolling Meadows, IL

    Shipped a new signal-processing capability to production within a three-month internship.

    • Implemented it in C++ for a large-scale defense system, updating configurations to ease integration of new signal types.
    • Validated it through hardware-in-the-loop testing, and wrote the documentation and architecture diagrams.

  4. Dec 2023 – Apr 2024

    Platinum Data Specialist

    Outlier (Platinum Coders Team) · Remote

    Reviewed and refined AI-generated code to improve model accuracy.

    • Wrote sample answers and refined solutions across SQL, Python, Java, C, C++, Go, Bash, HTML, and JavaScript.

  5. Jan 2023 – May 2025

    Undergraduate TA (Data Structures) · Graduate TA (VFX, Operating Systems)

    University of Notre Dame · Notre Dame, IN

    Office hours and one-on-one debugging help for 130+ students.

    • Topics ranged from recursion, hash tables, and dynamic programming to process scheduling, memory management, and Maya rendering pipelines.

§04Technical experiments

Small things, built to find out.

Prototypes and side experiments live in the Sandbox.

CompletedNov – Dec 2023

Irish Traditional Tune Set Finder

Finds compatible Irish traditional tunes for performance sets. TF-IDF vectorization and k-means clustering (visualized with PCA) group tunes by musical similarity, and a logistic regression classifier predicts tune type (jig, reel, polka…) from ABC notation sourced from thesession.org.

  • TF-IDF
  • k-means
  • PCA
  • Logistic regression
  • ABC notation

CompletedFeb – May 2024
