I'm an AI Software Engineering Intern at Copart and MS Computer Science student at Arizona State University. I build enterprise-grade AI infrastructure — autonomous monitoring systems, multi-agent orchestration platforms, and the developer tooling around them. At Wells Fargo, I engineered high-throughput financial systems that processed $50M+ in monthly payments for corporate clients and high-net-worth investors, building the kind of fault-tolerant distributed architecture that regulated capital markets demand. At Copart, I work across Enterprise AI, Developer Experience, and insurance operations at scale — designing systems that manage billing and settlements for many of the world's largest vehicle insurers. Financial services and insurance are domains where failure is expensive and compliance is non-negotiable; that environment shaped how I think about production software.

We Built Cages Called Templates

For sixty years we built software the same way: enumerate every screen in advance, wire them together, ship. Large language models are quietly dissolving that premise.

The Stack Nobody Is Talking About

Underneath the React hooks and JSON schemas, a three-layer protocol stack is being quietly agreed upon by every major AI lab. If you build software, this is the substrate your work is about to sit on.
