Who am I?

I am a graduating CS student who cares about creating meaningful impact through technology. Impact doesn't have to be for the masses; it can be for a single person or the people I care about. I aim to create a community where everyone cares about others' well-being and happiness.

Fun Facts

I was born in Venezuela, completed my primary education (grades 1–7) in China, and have navigated my secondary and higher education in the U.S. Living across three continents as a hard-of-hearing individual has given me wide world view.

Beyond the résumé

My time at RIT's National Technical Institute for the Deaf (NTID) and the Computer Science House (CSH) shaped my belief that innovation is most effective when it is inclusive and for the common good. I am driven by the desire to create environments where everyone feels a genuine sense of belonging and empowerment.

How I build with AI

I orchestrate multi-agent teams using OpenCode Ensemble — each agent works in an isolated sandboxed worktree so no agent can touch another's code, and every change goes through human review before it's merged. AI accelerates the process, but people stay accountable.

Jan 2026 — Present

Freelance Software Engineer @ Buho

Architected a production-grade backend with TypeScript, PostgreSQL, and Prisma ORM, achieving clean API separation and normalized relational data management. Implemented RBAC and authentication flows managing multi-tier user lifecycles, cart state, and protected API routing for production-scale e-commerce. Containerized the full stack with Docker multi-stage builds and deployed via Railway with automated CI/CD. Integrated Cloudflare R2 behind API gateway patterns, enforcing rate limiting and efficient asset delivery for media-heavy workloads. Directed multi-agent AI development with OpenCode, guiding LLM agents to generate production code through human-in-the-loop validation.

NeuralCube — Autonomous Robot

A personal research robot orchestrated by multi-agent LLMs and built on ROS2. As the backend-focused contributor, I deployed vLLM and SGLang inference servers on Linux for low-latency LLM responses in real-time decision-making. I integrated the multi-agent orchestration layer with ROS2 nodes, routing tasks (navigation, memory, search) to specialized subagents via ROS2 topics and services. I also managed the robot's digital twin state using ROS2 parameters and state publishers, and established documentation standards and systematic debugging practices across our Git workflow.
