01 / INTRODUCTION

Software engineer building AI infrastructure

I build things until they work, then move on to the next thing. Right now that's retrieval-augmented systems that don't hallucinate their sources, agentic tooling wired over MCP, and self-hosted LLM inference for when someone else's API isn't the answer.

Before that, a studio called Oct8 — a legal-document generator, a medical app, a tool that auto-generated and scheduled social media posts, and a voice agent. It went stagnant, I shut it down, moved on.

Still ship side projects when something annoys me enough — a QR generator, a CLI that outsmarts Claude Code's usage window. No grand narrative. Just things that needed building.

Professional journey

APR 2025 — NOW

Software Developer — DrCode

I build AI systems that don't just live in a demo — they get used in production. That mostly means retrieval-augmented pipelines grounded in real source documents (citations, not hallucinations), agentic tooling and MCP integrations that let LLMs actually do things instead of just describing them, and self-hosted LLM inference when latency, cost, or data residency rule out a third-party API. I work across the stack — APIs, data pipelines, frontend — whatever it takes to get a feature from idea to shipped, then broken, then fixed, until it holds up in the real world.

Recent work

01

Oct8 Studio

Ran a small studio for about a year on the theory that shipping enough different products would surface the one worth doubling down on. Built a legal-document AI (DocuForge), a medical app (Medez), a tool that auto-generated and scheduled social media posts (Post Pilot), and a real-time voice agent — real, working software, several products deep.

None of it found real traction, and the whole thing eventually went stagnant — so I shut it down. Two of the smaller tools turned out genuinely useful on their own and are still alive as open-source projects, below.

5hr

Claude Code and Codex run on rolling five-hour usage windows. This fires a silent warmup ping before I sit down each morning, so the quota resets exactly when I'm mid-flow instead of an hour after lunch. Built it because it annoyed me, not because anyone asked.

03

pixa

Open-source QR generator that doesn't look like it's from 2004 — custom colors, shapes, a center logo, image-blended backgrounds. Split cleanly into a zero-dependency generation engine and a web editor, so you can lift just the logic into your own backend if you don't want the UI.
