Hey, I'm Steve. 👋
Computer Science graduate from RIT (May 2026, 3.85 GPA). Seeking full-time software engineering roles. U.S. Citizen.
Technical Skills
Get to Know Me
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. This is how I think we build secure, high-trust software in an AI-assisted world.
Work Experience
Embedded Software Engineer @ Waygate Technologies (Baker Hughes)
Engineered automated data processing and Git-based CI/CD pipelines to track production quality metrics, reducing manual inspection overhead and enforcing software engineering best practices. Processed, modeled, and analyzed large-scale industrial inspection data to optimize backend pipeline data flow and system reliability. Deployed Python-driven automated test cases for system validation, improving regression coverage for build releases. Leveraged GitHub Copilot to accelerate C++ inference pipeline development and complex data automation scripts.
Jr. Software Developer @ Tive Technology
Developed and maintained robust RESTful APIs using SpringBoot for server-side business logic, optimizing backend database interactions. Designed and implemented secure backend services including Firestore data modeling, Authentication, and Security Rules. Built 4 mobile user-facing features with Flutter, reaching 1,000+ active users. Assisted in platform reliability testing and debugging backend services to meet multi-user performance guidelines.
Research Assistant @ RIT CAIR Lab
Containerized a real-time data-processing web application using Docker, ensuring reproducible deployment across Linux-based environments in a collaborative scientific research setting. Built a scalable RESTful API layer to handle high-throughput live transcription and data stream processing for accessibility research. Supported multidisciplinary research workflows by collecting, structuring, and analyzing experimental data sets. Developed frontend interfaces using React and Vue.js for live captioning visualization.
Research Assistant @ RIT Global Cybersecurity Institute
Performed statistical analysis and processing on MITRE threat alerts to identify security patterns. Set up space cyber-physical simulations with NS-3 for satellite communication and motion modeling. Analyzed real-time satellite motion and communication systems using MATLAB and C++.
Research Intern @ Tufts University
Optimized properties of novel polymers using gradient descent algorithms in MATLAB and C++. Applied object-oriented class structure and documentation practices to the Morpho-Lang compiler project. Solved compiler and modular design problems for Morpho-Lang, an open-source scientific computing language. Assembled a research poster presented to material science experts.
Projects & Experiments
Full-Stack Data & E-Commerce Platform
Architected a production-ready backend with TypeScript, PostgreSQL, and Prisma ORM for relational data management and API service layer. Implemented secure authentication and Role-Based Access Control (RBAC) patterns handling multi-tier user lifecycles, cart management, and API routing. Containerized using Docker multi-stage builds and automated CI/CD via GitHub Actions. Integrated Cloudflare R2 object storage with API gateway patterns for rate limiting, routing, and asset management. Orchestrated multi-agent development workflows using OpenCode — each agent worked in an isolated sandboxed worktree with human-in-the-loop code review before merging.
4G LTE Unlimited Distance Drone
Built a fully programmable 4G LTE drone using Raspberry Pi with internet-based communication for beyond-visual-line-of-sight operation. Implemented server communication for real-time image segmentation and autonomous navigation commands. Integrated PixHawk flight controller with ArduPilot for stabilized flight and Sixfab 4G LTE cellular hat for connectivity.
NeuralCube — Open Source Autonomous Robot
Contributed to an open-source autonomous system orchestrated by multi-agent LLMs for real-time data ingestion and processing. Deployed efficient LLM inference serving using vLLM and SGLang on Linux environments for low-latency backend responses. Worked collaboratively using Git for version control and systemic debugging.
