Experience

Senior Software Engineer

Vantaca

As a Senior Software Engineer at Vantaca, I initially led the technical design and implementation of a cutting-edge payment solution within our existing HOA management software, contributing to over $1 billion in processed payments. Working primarily in C# and .NET, I designed multiple API services and introduced serverless functions for processing background queues and webhooks.

In October 2024, I transitioned to developing "Scout," an AI research agent built into our flagship product using LangChain/LangGraph. Scout performed semantic search across HOA documents, help articles, and database records to assist management company employees. I focused heavily on building the data ingestion pipeline into our vector store, creating a comprehensive knowledge base for AI-powered assistance.

Since April 2025, I've been leading the AI Platform team, focusing on boosting AI adoption across the organization. This includes onboarding engineering teams with AI tools like Cursor and Devin, building automated release note generation, implementing support ticket triage systems, and developing an authenticated MCP Server for internal data access through a unified interface.

Hip eCommerce

At Hip eCommerce, I lead the development of a comprehensive comic book collection tracker tool. This tool seamlessly integrates with our image recognition system, allowing comic book collectors to scan their comics effortlessly for cataloging purposes. Leveraging Kafka, we ingested live price updates to provide users with real-time valuations of their collections, enhancing the platform's utility and user experience.
