Professional Summary

Software developer and BCIT Computer Information Technology graduate (2026) who builds AI agents that do real work. Most recently founding engineer on Anticipy, an assistant that turns live conversation into completed tasks in the user's own browser, where I raised the browser agent from 73.3% to 95.6% on a fixed 45-episode MiniWoB++ regression set through statistically tested A/B experiments. Now building Peltify, a media manager for discovering new picks and sharing them with friends.

  • Raised the vision-LLM browser agent from 73.3% to 95.6% on a fixed 45-episode MiniWoB++ regression set over 7 paired A/B experiments with McNemar tests, keeping 3 wins and reverting 4.
  • Made the agent act on real sites in the user's own Chrome, fixing four failing layers of a Manifest V3 extension that drives pages over CDP, with up to 3 concurrent jobs.

  • Rebuilt the dashboard design system in Next.js, React, and Tailwind CSS with 291 of 291 tests passing, and stood up production on Railway, Supabase, Vercel, Expo/EAS, and Twilio.
