Systems I've built — fault injection, schema safety, MCP servers, and one rate limiter with a grudge.
Ἄatropos · zeus · manteion — the Fate who cuts the thread, the lightning-thrower, and the oracle
A fault-injection research platform — inject faults at service boundaries, isolate each service's contribution to tail latency under concurrent load.
- SDK-level injection at HTTP middleware & gRPC interceptor boundaries
- cache-box primitive freezes services into cached-response replay
- W3C Baggage propagation for end-to-end trace correlation
Static analysis that decides whether simultaneous schema changes across a microservice mesh can co-deploy safely — and computes the maximal safe subset when they can't.
- MSS computed in linear time — reduction to MAX-TRUE Horn-SAT
- four-schema edge model (Send/Accept/Return/Expect)
- catches multi-hop integrity violations invisible to pairwise tools (Buf, Pact)
An MCP server for banana slugs — UCSC campus services and Santa Cruz environmental telemetry as structured tool calls for LLMs.
- campus — dining & nutrition, live gym occupancy, study rooms, class search with enrollment, transit predictions
- county — surf & wave buoys, tides, air quality, wildfire detections, harmful-algal-bloom risk, upwelling indices
- stdio & SSE transports, served to real users at UCSC

Natural-language video editing on real footage — a Premiere Pro plugin and a standalone desktop editor sharing one AI backend. Vibe editing, not AI-generated video.
- two front ends — an Adobe Premiere Pro UXP panel and a standalone Tauri + Next.js desktop/browser editor
- one shared FastAPI backend — AI providers (Gemini, Groq), video processing, Redis-backed caching
- Rust native layer (Tauri) for FFmpeg and OS integration; successor to the CSE115C ChatCut 2.0 team project
A lightweight, rules-driven rate limiter — the open-source descendant of the notification gate I built at MakeMyTrip.
- rules engine decides per-message, per-channel whether a notification deserves to exist
- lineage — the MakeMyTrip limiter governing SMS/WhatsApp/email at OTA scale
