Teaching Through Building
Partnering with hardware, backend, and research teams — and writing the design/test documentation that turned research findings into behavior non-engineers could understand and use, across 2 peer-reviewed publications.
Pragmatic AI Integration
Building with Claude Code and Gemini as daily tools, not just APIs — pairing structured data with LLM reasoning instead of over-engineering brittle parsers, e.g. redesigning a filing-analysis pipeline to combine rule-based fields with LLM-powered semantic analysis.
End-to-End Ownership
Comfortable owning the full stack — relational schema design, payment lifecycles, and deployment — moving between Android/Kotlin, Java/Spring Boot, and React/Node.js as the problem demands.
