Who I am

I'm a software engineer based in Washington, D.C., originally from the Bay Area. I build full-stack applications, data pipelines, and ML-powered systems — and I care about making things that actually work in production, not just in demos.

Right now I'm at Exelon, where I engineer Power BI dashboards backed by ETL pipelines across Oracle enterprise systems. On the side, I'm building Owligator, a real-time wine inventory startup using YOLOv8 and OpenCV.

I graduated from UC Merced with a 3.92 GPA in CSE, where I was VP of SASE and led ML research at the Smart Grid Lab.

Where I've worked

Associate Information Management Analyst Oct 2025 — Present
Exelon / Pepco · Projects & Controls · Washington, D.C.
  • Engineered 20+ production Power BI dashboards from scratch with end-to-end ETL pipelines across Oracle (Primavera P6, Unifier, Asset Suite 8), eliminating weeks of manual data preparation.
  • Wrote 50+ SQL queries and hundreds of DAX measures to enforce KPIs and business rules, replacing error-prone Excel workflows with automated reporting logic.
  • Built Python scripts to pull, clean, and load data across multiple source systems, saving project managers weeks of manual reconciliation per reporting cycle.
