Local project
Exploring how AI can become part of useful software, from small experiments to everyday tools.
I’ve made ultrawide mods for several games, including Yellow Taxi Goes Vroom and Escape from Ever After. AI makes it easier to find a starting point when I’m figuring out how a game handles its display.
An interest in game decompilation and recompilation: understanding how games work and how they can run on new platforms.
02 / The story so far
I’ve always liked figuring out how things work.
01 / Where it started
As a kid, I was curious about what my devices could do beyond their original settings. With my first Android phone, that curiosity took me to the XDA Developers forums.
I tried custom kernels, CyanogenMod, MIUI, and my own themes. I liked having more control over the hardware—and figuring things out along the way.
02 / Santa Clara University
In college, I built Gears, an Android OBD2 app. I contributed to the open-source Bluetooth connection code that helped bring vehicle fault codes onto a phone.
Later, a friend and I made an Android game, Future Frog. I graduated from Santa Clara University with a degree in Computer Science & Engineering.
03 / From curiosity to a career
After university, I started freelancing, then grew into front-end engineering through my work at AMD, Ironclad, and now Thumbtack.
I build interfaces with React and TypeScript and use Node.js to build APIs that support them.
04 / Off the clock
I build PCs, too. My rig at home is another project I keep tinkering with, from the hardware itself to the software that controls it.
That curiosity has spread into home networking: trying things, understanding how devices connect, and making the setup my own.
05 / Digital ideas, physical parts
I model parts in Plasticity and print them on my P2S and H2D. I like being able to turn an idea into something I can actually use.
That interest led me to start Materius. I’m also looking into industrial-size 3D printers to see what I could make at a larger scale.
06 / More room to experiment
AI has helped me get unstuck and take on more of the projects I want to build: custom apps, practical tools, and more open-source contributions.
I’m a gamer, too. Some projects start with a game I’m playing and something I wish worked differently—like making ultrawide mods so it fits my screen.
07 / Outside of work
I enjoy cars, motorcycles, and reading. My faith is important to me, and I like learning about the world and reflecting on it.

03 / The founder’s workshop
Materius is where my interest in making things takes physical form. I’m building a 3D printing and advanced manufacturing business around functional parts, considered materials, and the journey from a digital design to something you can hold.

Let’s make something good
An engineering role, a project, or a shared curiosity.
I’d be glad to hear from you.
