Digital Humans Project Lead at Luddy · Software · Informatics @ Indiana University (IU) · May 2027

I am looking for a software engineering role after May 2027.

I care most about databases, internal information systems, IT, and ETL (extract, transform, load). I grew into this path. I did not start college already sure I wanted to be an engineer.

Restaurant kid in Greenfield. Informatics (Business and Society) at IU. Digital Humans (AI-driven virtual personas) at Luddy LINK. Website Team Lead at Serve IT. Full story on About.

What I’m Building

Three places the same question shows up.

Digital Humans

Luddy LINK · Project Lead

How AI-driven virtual personas might fit real business workflows ... with customers and inside day-to-day operations.

Digital Humans · AI (artificial intelligence) · UX (user experience)

Explore

Serve IT

Website Team Lead

Web builds for nonprofit partners without in-house engineering. Sites and data handoffs they can keep after the clinic term ends.

WCAG (Web Content Accessibility Guidelines) · React · PostgreSQL · ETL

Case study (technical proof)

AI Strategy

Business Technology · Public Interest Technology

Public Interest Technology University Network (PIT-UN) work on agentic AI and go-to-market (GTM) for public-interest settings ... adoption that can last after a pilot.

Where It Started

I grew up in my parents’ Chinese restaurant in Greenfield.

Floor, till, kitchen. After COVID, I helped rebuild the website and social. That is when the work became technical.

What IU Added

I chose Informatics (Business and Society) to study technology and organisations together.

Digital Humans at Luddy LINK, Serve IT web leadership, and work in privacy, UX, and AI strategy are how I grew into software ... by shipping.

What I’m Building Toward

Near term: software engineering close to data and internal systems.

Longer term: products and companies of my own. Eventually, a duck farm.

Still working on that plan. For now I am learning to build the technology first.

Give Back

I care about nonprofit technology and mentorship for first-generation and low-income students because people gave our family a place to start.

Full path and skills live on About.

One More Thing

Eventually, a duck farm. Still working on that plan.

Other rooms

One person. Four audiences. Cross-links only.
