National Design Studio

Member of Technical Staff

Joined the White House National Design Studio under Chief Design Officer Joe Gebbia, co-founder of Airbnb, as part of America by Design—modernizing how Americans experience government online.
Helped ship America.gov with GSA: an AI-powered front door that searches more than 29,000 government websites so citizens can find benefits, passport help, and services in one place.
Contributed to TrumpRx.gov, the public Most-Favored-Nation prescription pricing portal connecting Americans to lower cash prices on medications.
Worked on RealFood.gov alongside the Dietary Guidelines for Americans, 2025–2030—making a landmark nutrition-policy reset clear, visual, and usable for the public.
Built inside a small elite studio charged with transforming tens of thousands of federal digital experiences into first-class citizen services.

Coinflow Labs

Senior Software Engineer

Productionized real-time anomaly detection models scoring millions of transactions/day with sub-second inference, identifying fraud patterns, synthetic identities, and coordinated abuse rings.
Built AI-driven entity verification and risk scoring pipelines: automated entity resolution, identity matching, and adaptive risk classification using supervised and unsupervised learning.
Deployed NLP-based automated response generation system processing dispute events, leveraging structured data and document analysis to produce evidence packets at scale.
Established human-in-the-loop feedback systems for continuous model retraining, improving precision/recall and reducing false positives through active learning.
Built observability from scratch (Prometheus/Grafana SLOs, model drift monitoring, inference latency tracking) and scaled data infrastructure (PostgreSQL, MongoDB, event streams) to support ML at high throughput.
Impact: Scaled system from 300K to 20M+ events/month; core infra supported company growth from pre-seed to $26M Series A ($120M valuation).
