I grew up reselling electronics and trading virtual items to make money in a country where the minimum wage didn't leave many options. That taught me early on to focus on what actually works over what's supposed to work. I teach myself whatever the situation needs — trading, soldering, a new language, a framework I've never touched — and I figure it out fast enough to be useful. I care about output: what gets built, what ships, what's useful to people. At work I've automated processes nobody asked me to fix, built tracking systems that didn't exist before, and at hackathons I've dragged my team out of the building to talk to real users instead of guessing. I pick up what I need, adapt to whatever team or environment I'm in, and I'd rather ship something good than gatekeep how it was made.

Sales Engineer

Jul 2025 — Present

Beagle Technologies Inc. — Agricultural Robotics, Dublin, CA

  • Built BeagleBot, a self-hosted multi-agent AI system on Oracle Cloud wired into Slack, Jira, Confluence, and email — routes each task to the optimal model provider to cut inference cost, enforces accountability on outstanding messages, and auto-updates CRM records from daily activity logs
  • Designed, built, and globally hosted a secure CRM web app to replace HubSpot; ran daily cold outreach to agricultural prospects, navigating gatekeepers to reach decision-makers and close new client deals
  • Designed a full edge-device security architecture for the company's fleet of NVIDIA Jetson field units — fuse-based encryption, EFI secure boot, key-only SSH, USB lockdown, and kiosk-mode auto-boot, standardized into a single hardened Docker image used across every unit
