Who I Am

About

I'm a software engineer who thrives at the intersection of performance optimization, AI automation, and systems engineering. My recent work includes solving 7 paid bounties across comma.ai's openpilot ecosystem (openpilot / opendbc / panda), where I focused on making autonomy development loops faster, shipping fuzzy fingerprinting for unknown firmware, and tightening safety compliance.

I also build AI-powered automation tools for small businesses, have driven $25M+ in online sales through technical marketing and product ownership, and maintain active involvement in Web3 smart contract development. Currently based in Austin, TX, where I drive Uber with a Tesla running Full Self-Driving in my spare time.
