About
I’m a Computer Science senior at San Jose State University, graduating in December 2026, and a Software Engineer Intern at Aerendir Mobile in Mountain View. I build AI products and games, and I’ve won seven hackathons and a game jam award, including 1st place at The Executable World with SafetyLens. I grew up in Hungary, South Africa, Venezuela, Ethiopia and Brazil, which made me adaptable and comfortable with ambiguity. I’m looking for full time software engineering and game development roles after I graduate.

I’m Not TrashProjects
SafetyLens
Python • MediaPipe • FastAPI- AI workplace safety platform that watches existing security cameras, flags incidents like a person down, and only takes actions an operator approves.
- I built the live fall detector, which catches a fall in under 0.5 seconds with MediaPipe pose tracking and a temporal state machine, plus a pre and post event evidence buffer and 44 unit tests.
Parallel
Python • React • FastAPI • PostgreSQL • Docker- AI workspace for teams with a shared intelligence layer that uses RAG and a vector database to keep context across teammates and prevent conflicts.
- Built the React frontend, a VS Code extension and a Pipecat voice agent. Reached 10+ active users and pilots including SpoonOS.
Agentic Commerce
TypeScript • Express • React • ethers.js- LLM router with classifier-based provider selection that cut inference costs 77% versus a single provider, with per-request and daily spend caps.
- Replay-resistant USDC payments on Arc L1, verified with unique nonces and transaction hashes before any model runs.
The Dead Thing In The Lighthouse
Unity • C#- Indie psychological horror game in development for Steam, made with a team of six or seven artists, coders and project managers.
- I write a lot of the code, including the fishing, mermaid and lighthouse climb minigames, and I’m starting the game’s social media.
Roblox Games

Elevator Simulation
Java • Queues • Finite State Machine- Built an event-driven simulation modeling elevator behavior.
- Collaborated closely with teammates and instructor to ship components on schedule and with quality.
- Modeled processes using finite state machines and queues.
Unreal and Unity Learning
What I’ve Been Learning
- Principles of single-player and multiplayer level design.
- Creating detailed Level Design Documents (LDDs) for collaboration.
- Greyboxing and prototyping gameplay spaces in Unreal Engine.
- Lighting, traversal, and gameplay mechanics to bring designs to life.
Showcase Video
Unity Learn
Completed 72 Unity Learn tutorials and courses, earning 1,190 XP across Unity Essentials, programming, art and animation, audio and systems design. My projects there include lighting and particle effects, an indoor scene with layered ambient sound, and WAVE 10, a zombie wave shooter with its own design document.
Spotlight: Operation “Rose House” (WIP)
UE5 • CQB Level • Design & SystemsI’m building a first-person close-quarters battle mission in a two-story suburban home with a basement. The goal is to balance realism and player choice: multiple insertion routes, methodical room clearing, and a mix of stealth and action. Players navigate tight interiors, secure critical intel, and attempt a hostage rescue under pressure. The level emphasizes clear objectives, readable spaces, and cinematic pacing from approach to exfiltration.
