Generative BI (GenBI) & Agentic AnalyticsPlanet-Scale Data Visualization & UX Engineering

Engineering planet-scale data visualization, agentic analytics, and high-performance interfaces.

I am a Full-Stack Software Engineer at Google in Orange County, specializing in frontend architecture, interaction design, and UX engineering for generative business intelligence (GenBI) and planet-scale systems. I architect high-performance tools that turn massive telemetry pipelines into user-authorable visualizations and agentic Gemini-driven analysis workflows.

Previously, I spent five years as a Design Engineer at eBay (HIG & EPIC Lab) leading full-stack software prototyping and UX experimentation for novel connected retail displays and global design systems, following graduate research in AI and computer graphics at UC Santa Cruz and Cal Poly.
