About
I'm a software engineer with a biomedical engineering background. I studied BME at the University of Michigan, then spent over a year in a cardiothoracic surgery research lab at Stanford Medicine.
In 2024 I moved into software full time. At Mintall I've worked across our Shopify app, web dashboard, and canvas editor. In 2026 I was the only engineer on FlightPlan, an AI college-counseling platform, and finished an M.S. in Computer Science at Georgia Tech.

Experience
Software Engineer
Mintall · San Francisco, CA
- ·Built launch features for Mintall Keep, a Shopify app on the App Store since October 2025, including the minted-products view, in-app guides, and sign-in to the web dashboard
- ·Moved the Shopify app to React Router 7, Polaris web components, React 19, Vite 8, and the 2026-10 Shopify API, and added CI checks for types, lint, and coverage
- ·Built Mintall Studio, a tldraw-based canvas editor, as its own app with asset import and AI generation; split shared auth and API code into packages used by three apps
- ·Mentored a junior engineer through code review, and moved the original web app from React context to React Query
Software Engineer (Part-Time Contract)
Curious Cardinals · San Francisco, CA
- ·Only engineer, working with the COO and product manager; took FlightPlan from first commit to launch in 16 weeks, and the launch sold out its founding cohort, raising $100k in 48 hours
- ·Built 15+ LLM pipelines on Gemini, including transcript extraction, profile scoring, and mentor matching with pgvector retrieval
- ·Designed real-time progress streaming for every pipeline using Postgres LISTEN/NOTIFY and server-sent events
- ·Built an opportunity research system with a nightly refresh, and a mentor sync that re-embeds only the profiles that changed
- ·Built the Supabase Postgres data layer with row-level security and pgvector
Life Science Research Professional
Stanford Medicine · Palo Alto, CA
- ·Assisted with 10+ animal surgeries a month for total beating-heart transplantation and myocardial injury studies; maintained colonies of 200+ mice and rats
- ·Processed and imaged hundreds of cardiac tissue samples (TUNEL, CODEX, H&E, Masson's trichrome), resulting in significant contributions to the lab's publications
- ·Wrote Python and R pipelines that automated data collection and analysis, raising analysis throughput 150%; produced 70+ figures from RNA-seq, ATAC-seq, Luminex, and flow cytometry data
Graduate Researcher
University of Michigan · Ann Arbor, MI
- ·Built a synthetic articular cartilage model from tunable PEG hydrogels to study chondrocyte and mesenchymal stem cell behavior in the Cartilage Healing and Regeneration Laboratory
- ·Thesis: "Influence of Seeding Density and Material Stiffness on Articular Cartilage Formation in a Pre-Chondrogenic Stem Cell Niche"
SBC
Research Intern
Seoul Bio Clinic · Seoul, South Korea
- ·Formulated cGMP protocols for isolating, culturing, and differentiating autologous disc progenitor cells to treat intervertebral disc degeneration
- ·Characterized cells with FACS and real-time PCR; met with 20+ patients to understand chronic pain treatment needs
