Selected work

Founder

NestuLabs AI VisibilityLive

A WordPress plugin and weekly tracker that make a business readable to AI assistants.

PHP, WordPress, Next.js, Supabase, Claude API

Read case studynestulabs.com

NestuLabs AI Visibility architectureA WordPress plugin writes JSON-LD and an llms.txt file into the business website so AI assistants can read it, while a weekly tracker asks those assistants test questions and reports to a dashboard for the owner.asks test questionsWordPress pluginBusiness websiteJSON-LD + llms.txtAI assistantsWeekly trackerDashboard for the owner

Engineering

Real-time collaborative editing engine

A conflict-free text sync engine in TypeScript, built from scratch with no CRDT library.

TypeScript, WebSockets, Custom binary protocol

Read case study

Collaborative editing engine architectureA TipTap editor and a ProseMirror editor each talk to their own CRDT core through an adapter; the two cores exchange small binary updates in both directions through a WebSocket relay, which also carries presence data for cursors and selections.binary updatesbinary updatesEditor ATipTapAdapterCRDT coreEditor BProseMirrorAdapterCRDT coreWebSocket relayPresencecursors and selections

Research

Machine learning research at Rolston Lab

BLIP-2 pipelines for scientific figures and a Gaussian Process model for battery health.

Python, PyTorch, BLIP-2, scikit-learn (GPR), ASU supercomputing cluster

Rolston Lab scientific data pipelineMicroscopy images and plots run through a BLIP-2 pipeline on a GPU cluster to produce structured data, while battery impedance measurements run through Gaussian Process Regression to predict battery health; both results feed a 4D model of interface behaviour in energy materials.Microscopy imagesand plotsBLIP-2 pipelineGPU clusterStructured dataBattery EISmeasurementsGaussian ProcessRegressionBattery healthprediction4D interface modelenergy materials

Research + Engineering

Agentic trading research

Agents check live gold prices against fixed rules and log the reason for every decision.

Python, LangGraph, OANDA practice API

Read case study

Agentic trading, phase oneLive gold candles from the OANDA practice API flow into a market data service, then a decision agent checks the strategy rules and writes a reasoned take-or-skip entry to a decision log and a paper order to a paper broker; both feed a live dashboard.take / skip + reasonpaper orderOANDA practice APIlive XAU/USD candlesMarket data serviceDecision agentchecks strategy rulesDecision logPaper brokerLive dashboard

Let's talk

I'm a computer science senior at Arizona State, in the accelerated BS/MS program. I like the part of AI work where a demo has to become something people rely on — clean APIs, good tests, and knowing why the system made a choice.

Outside class I do ML research at Rolston Lab and run NestuLabs, where I build tools that help businesses show up in AI search. I'm based in Tempe, Arizona.

I'm looking for 2027 new-grad roles in software, ML, and forward-deployed engineering. I also like hearing about hard problems at early-stage startups.
