I'm a software engineer in New York. At Meta I work on Muse voice & avatar calls, and after hours I make little things for my church.
Bay Area born & raised,
now in NYC
(the short version. the long one is on my resume)
I work on the Android side of Muse, Meta's AI you can talk to in real time, by voice or face to face with its avatar. It's what Mark demoed live with Agrippa at Connect 2026. Before that, our team built voice and avatar calling for Facebook, Instagram and Messenger, keeping audio, video and captions in sync.

Making Reels autoplay in Feed feel smooth (lots of crash, memory and scroll fixes), then bringing Reels to the Watch tab with a small team.
so much Kotlin
My first team at Meta: Stories sharing on hardware that wasn't out yet, alongside five partner teams. I wrote our first end-to-end and UI tests and helped wherever we were short.
first time building for hardware!
Things I've made outside work: three for my church, Alabaster Group in New York and Boston, and a few that grew out of the dance teams I was on in college.
newest thing!
Dance Studio, but for basketball. Draw a play beat by beat and watch it run on a 3D court, or sit back and let the playbook run through one play after another. Man or zone defense, and courts from a New York park to a big arena.
Try it ↗My college thesis, rebuilt six years later: real 3D dancers, formations counted in eights, count sheets and one-click shapes.
For anyone who has had their colours done. It reads the actual colour of each item in a store's photos, not the label, and can badge, dim or hide what doesn't suit you. Headed to the Chrome Web Store next.
Live Spanish and Chinese subtitles for Sunday sermons, transcribed with Whisper and translated offline. Nothing leaves the laptop.
The church website, rebuilt off Squarespace as plain HTML and a small Python build. Sermons and livestream links update themselves.
An iOS app in Swift, launched with church volunteers who helped with scope, content and testing.
Where it started: a 3D tool for blocking dance formations to music, with curved paths so dancers don't collide.
I studied computer science at Princeton, with certificates in finance and Spanish. That's where I built Dance Studio, a 3D choreography tool, and started TigerMeals.
These days I help with weekly Bible studies at Christians@MetaNY and love mentoring interns. I speak English, Spanish and some Mandarin.
