Doering Thinking Machines

A self-directed research and engineering program exploring general artificial systems that coordinate diverse language-model ensembles with symbolic techniques.

• Completed an extensive cognitive-science literature review spanning Kant, Hegel, Schopenhauer, Minsky, and related traditions, then synthesized it into an architectonic system blueprint.
• Built a long-running full-stack artificial system in Python and TypeScript around structured agent workflows, persistent knowledge, and human verification gates.
• Built a retrieval framework with Gemma embeddings and PostgreSQL/pgvector over parsed Wikitext, technical documents, academic papers, and system artifacts.
• Normalized a large personal software fleet around common repository templates, task records, tests, documentation, CI, release stages, and adversarial review.

Software Engineer

Google

Modernized Google's AdSense product, focusing on JavaScript tag logic and new advertising formats across the stack.

• Developed C++ and TypeScript features end to end inside complex, performance-sensitive deployment systems.
• Ran and analyzed A/B tests across billions of queries with custom Python notebooks and large proprietary tools.
• Investigated advanced JavaScript behavior for scripts operating across more than two million browser environments.

Software Engineer

Space Ground System Solutions

Helped move a widely used satellite command-and-control system from a desktop Qt application to a React/Redux web interface backed by Java, C++, and data-intensive partner APIs.

• Implemented roughly twelve significant full-stack features, including data visualization and geospatial satellite line-of-sight work.
• Led a team of six engineers during a planned three-month manager leave, clearing blockers and coordinating stakeholders and Agile ceremonies.
• Introduced Jest unit testing to an existing, lightly tested codebase after coordinating regular functional testing.
• Worked with satellite data and protocols from NASA, the Department of Defense, and private space organizations.

Automation Tools Intern

Fujitsu Network Communications

Built a Java/Spring MVC and JavaScript application that formalized a project-management procedure, accelerated the workflow, and captured data for executive analysis.
