Agent Engineer at Nudge AI.
When a patient calls the clinic, an agent I built picks up in under half a second. Twenty-plus run in production on LiveKit and ElevenLabs.

About
Mostly, I build things that talk.
Right now that’s voice AI at Nudge — production agents picking up real phone calls for clinics every day. I studied Computational Cognitive Science at UC Davis, which turned out to be the right obsession: conversation is the hardest interface there is, and I get to engineer it for a living.
Off the clock I’m still at it — writing about minds and machines on Substack, mapping what I believe into vir.wtf, building whatever’s bugging me that week. If it involves agents, speech, or a question without a clean answer, I’m probably already in.
