Data engineer by profession. Storyteller by compulsion.
A storyteller is just the universe's way of remembering itself.
Eleven years building data infrastructure — 100TB+ pipelines, agentic frameworks, cloud-scale ETL — and still the question that pulls hardest is the one underneath the data: what does it mean, and does it reflect the world as it actually is? If not — can we even measure the gap? And do the absences and the outliers tell a different story than what's present?
That thread runs through RLHF research published in IEEE and presented at MIT's Ray & Maria Stata Center and Hitachi's Central Research Laboratory in Tokyo. It shows up in GoNull, a neuroplasticity-based app for rewiring digital habits — the idea that the technology people reach for most should probably not be the thing most designed to keep them reaching. In a Jungian AI wellness companion built on Claude. In a published historical thriller set across colonial India and Thuggee ritual networks — because a storyteller is just the universe's way of remembering itself.
Currently: Senior Data Engineer at Rocket Companies, building enterprise MCP servers, agentic AI frameworks, and people analytics systems. Working on a behavioral intelligence platform that reads the emotional pulse of an election from Reddit signals and Google Trends.
Claude is the only model I've worked with that feels like it has a point of view — something closer to a thinking partner that pushes than a completion engine that mirrors you back. That distinction is what I want to help build, not just use.
Jungian AI wellness companion — a guide trained in Carl Jung's depth psychology that remembers, grows, and supports continuous inner work through meaningful conversations. Private, insightful, transformative. Powered by Claude models.
Breaking social media addiction through progressive friction and neuroplasticity — 4 escalating resistance levels, boredom training, Bunker Mode, and Real-World Quests that replace the void. Commitment contracts, not willpower.
Behavioral signal platform predicting political, consumer, and cultural shifts from cross-domain signals — not surveys. Reads Reddit, Google Trends, and news to surface weekly Anger / Fear / Hope indices alongside prediction market data.
Enterprise MCP server enabling analysts to query all Rocket Companies team member data through Claude Desktop or PowerBI in natural language — unified over S3/Athena, Redshift, SQL Server, and Snowflake with AD + SSO OAuth governance.
Set in the shadow of the British East India Company and the Thuggee cult — a story about devotion, empire, and the violence that lives inside belief. Because a storyteller is just the universe's way of remembering itself.
Contributed Chapter 15: Artificial Intelligence (AI)-Powered Innovation in Mortgage Banking. Co-authored with Alex Khang. The book explores AI-based predictive cybersecurity tools across digital finance — banking transactions, interbank payments, loan accounts, trading systems.
