Professional Experience
Mattoboard
Founding Engineer
January 2025 - Present
- Built and owned an end-to-end ingestion pipeline across hundreds of suppliers; transformed unstructured data into precise, stakeholder-informed schemas via vision-enabled expert agents; scaled inventory from 5k to 50k+ in 6 months
- Shipped multimodal LLM + CV pipeline generating PBR maps (normal/roughness/etc.) using OpenCV; delivered realistic 3D assets and expanded the library 10x
- Delivered multimodal semantic search: tuned text+image embeddings, Pinecone retrieval, LLM query rewriting/generation, and parallel intelligent reranking with Firestore sync; reduced p95 latency from ~300s to <90s via concurrency and streaming
- Instituted LLMOps: offline eval harness, Langfuse dashboards, and budget-aware model routing across OpenAI/Claude/Gemini/OSS; achieved 2–10x unit-cost reductions while improving reliability
