Hey, I'm
I bring AI to places it's never been before.
Software engineer at Microsoft building AI infrastructure for sovereign clouds, air-gapped networks, and the edge. I think a lot about LLM deployment, agentic systems, and what it takes to make AI work under real-world constraints.
OpenAI patched a verbal tic out of their model. The patch ships in Codex via a developer prompt, not in Copilot, so in Copilot the goblins still appear. I ran the experiment I was curious about: does goblin mode actually change coding performance, or is it just vibes?

What happens after your fourth agentic CLI tab, and the weird side project it led to.

The heaviest users of my command-line tools turned out to be AI agents. Here's what I changed once I noticed.

A nine-hour experiment on why reasoning models are so stubborn about correcting their own chain of thought, and a latency finding I didn't expect.

My senior capstone was a flood-warning system for Vietnam. Most of the actual work was in everything around the code — stakeholders, data ownership, and ethics.

A summer internship project. Most explainability methods try to reverse-engineer a model after the fact. I tried training one to just tell you why.

A pixel-art office where you manage AI coding agents like employees. You spawn agents (Claude Code, Copilot CLI) at desks, hand them coding tasks, and watch their real terminal output as they work — each one is an actual CLI process running locally in a PTY. I built it because orchestrating several coding agents at once felt like juggling terminal tabs, and I wanted it to feel more like running a team.
Software Engineer - Microsoft
Led the effort to bring Azure AI Foundry to air-gapped government clouds (USSEC/USNAT). Architected cloud-agnostic systems, educated cross-functional teams across cloud boundaries, and made the GA deadline for government customers.
Software Engineer - Microsoft
Building the chat and agent experience for Edge RAG, Microsoft's retrieval-augmented generation product for on-premises, air-gapped environments — conversational AI over private data where the models, retrieval, and orchestration all run on local hardware with no cloud fallback. Lead the chat UI, shipped the Model Chat feature, and prototype agentic workflows on top of the retrieval stack.
Personal Project
A command-line tool for keeping up with research. You track topics on arXiv, it pulls new papers into a local SQLite library you can search offline, and it generates AI summaries and weekly digests so I don't fall behind on what's coming out. I built it because I wanted staying current to be a terminal command instead of a habit I have to maintain.
