Full Stack + AI Engineer @ TAP Academy | LangGraph, LLM Integration, Agentic Workflows | Web + Mobile

About

I'm a builder. I learn best by making things not by reading docs or watching tutorials. Most of what I know about agentic AI, I figured out by sitting down on weekends and trying to build an AI that actually works, breaking it, and fixing it until it did. That's how I ended up shipping an AI fitness coach with LangGraph, Mem0, and SSE streaming. Not because a course told me to, but because I wanted to understand how production agents actually behave what happens when memory fails, when the model hallucinates, when a user drops off mid-stream. You can only learn that by shipping. At work, I'm a Full Stack + AI Engineer. I build LLM features for students at TAP Academy, and before that, backend infrastructure at Quanta. But the more interesting part of my life is what I build outside work that's where I push myself. What I care about: → Making things that actually work in production, not demos → Understanding systems deeply, not just using frameworks → Working with people who move fast and hold a high bar → Building AI that helps real people, not AI that impresses Twitter
