- Technical lead and engineering manager for 8th Wall's AI team, growing the team from 1 to 6 engineers across ML and full-stack and setting the AI roadmap for Niantic Studio.
- Launched 8th Wall Agent, a VS Code-compatible multimodal AI agent with a built-in MCP server that generates idiomatic 8th Wall code and edits proprietary scene graphs and prefabs, doubling the addressable user base and increasing daily active developers by 20%.
- Launched 8th Wall Asset Lab, AI tooling for text-to-image, image-to-image, and text-to-3D workflows in Niantic Studio, cutting project development time 50%, opening a new revenue stream, and making users 2.7x less likely to churn.
- Fine-tuned Qwen-2.5-Coder 7B and 32B on 25K+ prompt/code pairs with PyTorch and Hugging Face, improving code generation quality to 55% Pass\@3, 15 points above prompt-engineered baselines.
- Built and led 8th Wall's AI team, directly managing 5 engineers across ML and full-stack while setting the AI roadmap for Niantic Studio.
- Launched 8th Wall Agent, a VS Code-compatible multimodal coding agent backed by a built-in MCP server for generating 8th Wall code and editing proprietary scene graphs and prefabs, doubling the addressable user base and increasing daily active developers by 20%.
- Launched 8th Wall Asset Lab, generative AI tooling for image and 3D creation in Niantic Studio, cutting project development time 50%, opening a new revenue stream, and making users 2.7x less likely to churn.
- Fine-tuned Qwen-2.5-Coder 7B and 32B on 25K+ prompt/code pairs using PyTorch and Hugging Face, achieving 55% Pass\@3, 15 points above prompt-engineered baselines.

- Architected and launched Niantic Studio Backend Services, a patented client/server platform that deploys version-pinned backend functions into application-specific serverless environments, securing API keys and game logic while eliminating up to a week of separate infrastructure setup.
- Built AI platform services on AWS Bedrock and AppSync, including real-time streaming APIs, prompt caching, LLM evaluation workflows, shared auth middleware, and credit accounting that powered agentic features in Niantic Studio.
- Created an edge logging API on Lambda\@Edge, Kinesis, and Lambda that accepted JSON payloads, validated and serialized them into protobuf at runtime, and piped application telemetry into Niantic's data warehouse.
- Architected and launched Niantic Studio Backend Services, a #link("https://patents.google.com/patent/US20250377887A1/en?oq=20250377887")[patented] client/server platform that deploys version-pinned backend functions into per-app serverless environments, securing API keys and game logic while eliminating up to a week of separate infrastructure setup.
- Built AI platform services on AWS Bedrock and AppSync, including streaming APIs, prompt caching, LLM evaluation workflows, shared auth middleware, and credit accounting that powered agentic features in Niantic Studio.
