Summary

Independent AI consultant, full-stack builder, and founder of GutChat.

I help companies design, build, and ship production AI systems — and train their teams to run them. I work across the whole stack: backend systems, ML and Gen-AI pipelines, and the interfaces on top.

That work spans AI-assisted legal review, biotech imaging, Gen-AI tooling for university gift reporting, a production assistant for Veterans United Home Loans, and 5G/6G Core research at WAN-AI — alongside GutChat, my own AI health app, built end to end.

Studying Computer Science at San Jose State, with stops at Sungkyunkwan University in Seoul and TBS Education in Barcelona.
