About
As a seasoned full-stack engineer and startup founder, I have taken multiple high-impact projects from 0 to 1. I love getting involved in the details and tackling tough problems.

Projects
Willow
Create stunning product photos with a WebGL-based canvas that lets you inpaint, outpaint, draw, add layers, and generate images with prompts using generative AI.
Kora
An in-product assistant for Autodesk Fusion 360 which allows users to execute CAD commands through natural language processing.
Material Recommendation Engine
A recommendation engine to suggest materials based on physical characteristics and use case requirements.
Lucid - Microsoft Copilot
A Microsoft Copilot app that summarizes Lucid documents right in Microsoft Teams, helping users stay focused and work more efficiently without needing to switch apps.
PDF Import
Created a PDF import method capable of processing PDFs of diagrams (e.g. a diagram from a competitor lacking a friendly export feature 😉). This method parses the PDF and outputs the same diagram in a format compatible with Lucid's products. This innovation was a game-changer for Lucid, unlocking thousands of dollars in new subscriptions.
Link Unfurl Block
Links are ugly and lead users away from your product. This feature addresses that issue. Now, when you paste a link into Lucid, it transforms into a Link Unfurl Block. This block not only displays a preview image and title but also allows interaction with the content (like a Google Doc) directly within Lucid, eliminating the need to leave. Just a month after its rollout, this feature increased user engagement with links by 20%!
FarmOps
A farm management tool designed to assist farmers in tracking their crops by maintaining records of their plots, irrigation schedules, soil types, and weather patterns.
Passcode & Expiring Share Links
Share-links within Lucid can now be protected with a passcode and set to expire after a designated period. This enhancement was a big win for existing users and unblocked the closure of key enterprise deals.
Smartsheet Integration
Users can import data from Smartsheet into Lucid and then visualize that data in a diagram. This data is live-synced, meaning changes in Lucid automatically update in Smartsheet and vice versa.
