Software engineer and developer advocate based in Sacramento, CA. I spent three years at PayPal — first as a developer advocate, then as a software engineer — building developer-facing experiences, API onboarding, and technical content.
Right now I'm building AI agents and automation workflows in public, and writing up what worked and what didn't.
- MotionBrief — an AI-assisted creative studio that turns a campaign prompt into an editable brief, visual, narration, and a five-second vertical video. I replaced slow, expensive generative video with deterministic camera moves and put cost estimates right on the action buttons.
- Social Content Agent — a human-in-the-loop LinkedIn content workflow: generate a draft with AI, review and edit, approve, schedule, and audit everything in an activity timeline.
- Launchpad — a real-time client portal for website launches: onboarding, asset collection, staging feedback, and launch-day approval in one shared place.
