How I Work

Engineering Approach

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.

Career

Work History

Mar 2025 — Sep 2025

Software Developer, Research Assistant

Interactive Organisms Lab — Dr. Katia Vega, UC Davis

  • Shipped the front-end of Nail pHolish, an Android app surfacing oral pH readings from a Nix Color Sensor; built screens and flows in Kotlin/XML via Android Studio, iterating with hardware/backend teammates on debugging and usability feedback.
  • Prototyped UX flows in Figma for DiabetiCat, a feline-health monitoring app, partnering cross-functionally on screen architecture, API contracts, and front-end requirements.
  • Co-authored 2 peer-reviewed publications (ACM & INTERACT 2025), writing design and test documentation that translated research findings into shipped product behavior across hardware, backend, and UI teams.
