👋 Hello
What I Do #
I’m an engineer at Loop. Four years here. Started fixing frontend bugs; now I handle backend, AI, and infrastructure as needed.
I focus on improving the product for researchers. I build features, fix issues, and integrate new technologies when useful.
I joined Loop early, when it was a small startup. I learned frontend, backend, DevOps, cloud, and AI as the product evolved.
When a challenge surfaces, I identify what’s required and then actively seek out resources to bridge my knowledge gaps. This approach has guided me through learning Python, Javascript, Go, cloud services, and machine learning APIs as needed for projects.
#! Linux power user since 2012
Education:
Information Technology degree, online courses, and O’Reilly books to fill gaps (Udacity Cloud DevOps Nanodegree, Data Streaming Nanodegree, Coursera Deep Learning Specialization).
Things I’ve Worked On #
Built production AI chat systems, advanced text editors, real-time collaborative features for research, and contributed to well-known open source projects.
Highlights
AI Chat with Citations Delivered a conversation AI system for researchers using OpenAI and GCP. Designed a citation-mapping method to directly link AI responses to their sources. Built semantic search with Weaviate and implemented a fallback between OpenAI and Azure APIs for continuous uptime.
Transcript Analysis & Auto-tagging Built transcript analysis and auto-tagging tools for faster, structured interview review.
Rich Text Editor Built advanced text editors with ProseMirror and TipTap to support complex formatting for user notes.
Real-time Note-taking for Video Calls Developed a feature for real-time note-taking during video calls in the app. Researchers can capture insights as they happen during user interviews.
Third-party Integrations
- Built webhook systems for seamless data flow between services
- Helped integrate enterprise SSO and authentication workflows
- Worked with transcription and bot recording services
- Worked on AI integration and LLMs
