Projects
AgentViewBest Developer Tool runner-up
An MCP server that turns any webpage plus a goal into exactly what an AI agent needs: relevant content and available actions, nothing else. A $7 LoRA fine-tune of a 4B model that beats Gemini 3.5 Flash on real-web element accuracy (55% vs 35%).
ferrodb
A relational database built from scratch in Rust: slotted-page storage, ARC buffer pool, B+ tree indexes, a cost-based optimizer, and write-ahead logging with crash recovery. Distributed layer in Go (Raft, range sharding) up next.
DeadWeightHackathon winner
Scans any website and quantifies wasted resources, then converts the bloat into grams of CO₂ with concrete fix recommendations.

Experience
FschoolAI
Founding Engineer
Building multi-agent features for an LMS-connected study platform (Canvas, Brightspace): MCP tool servers for course data and A2A orchestration across specialized agents, cutting latency ~45% and per-query token cost ~60%. Designed and shipped the pre-launch waitlist end to end, converting 150+ early-access signups.
Kubernetes & Turso
Open Source Contributor, SIG API Machinery
Three PRs to kube-apiserver: fixed a nil-pointer dereference in Store.Watch and deflaked two test suites, including the API Priority and Fairness filters. Three more to Turso, a SQLite-compatible database in Rust, fixing a collation leak, a use-after-free, and a LEFT JOIN + FTS panic.
FRC Team 7476, World Championships qualifier
Software Engineer
Led integration across a 6-person software subteam: wrote Java for arm, intake and shooter subsystems on top of WPILib, and debugged sensor and control issues live at competition. The team advanced through Niagara, North Bay and Ontario Provincials to qualify for the FIRST World Championships.
