I'm a backend engineer at Luma AI, where I work on billing, monetization, and platform integrity. Previously I built payments and crypto infrastructure, including an open-source Stripe library for React Native that has processed $1M+ in transactions for more than 32k customers.

Backend Engineer (hire #3), Feb 2026 - present

• Shipped the UI directives framework - the system that lets agent responses drive the product's interface - now carrying 3.08M calls a week from 185k users; 18 other engineers have built on it.
• Found and fixed errors in the system that finalizes each team's bill, restoring 8.8M credits of paid overage to 2,191 teams.

Multilingual Toxic Comment Classification

Kaggle competition: train on English toxic comments, detect toxicity across languages.

• With little usable multilingual data, we generated our own with translation models.
• Trained language-specific models on the translated sets and blended the results over many rounds of hyperparameter tuning.
• Team Sentimental took a silver medal, 14th of 1600+ teams, and my Kaggle profile was promoted to Competitions Expert.
