About

Professional summary

I am an AI-native product engineer and designer-engineer who builds and ships full products from concept through production. I combine premium interface design, real backend systems, AI-assisted development, and application security into end-to-end product delivery.

I direct AI development workflows using Claude Code, Cursor, and Model Context Protocol tooling, while validating output rather than assuming it is correct. My work includes React and WebGL experiences, TypeScript applications, Python and Node.js services, authentication, payments, databases, and deployment pipelines.

I specialize in AI security and reliability practices, including automated red-team workflows that attack running applications, triage findings, generate minimal patches, and verify that vulnerabilities are closed. I work with OWASP Top 10 risks, SAST, DAST, prompt-injection defenses, PII redaction, RAG safety, evaluations, and observability.

I design accessible, responsive, high-performance product interfaces with strong visual systems. My creative development work includes WebGL, Three.js, React Three Fiber, GLSL shaders, motion design, scroll interactions, video, typography, color, and Figma-based design systems.

I have built production subscription platforms, AI music-release tools, creator dashboards, passwordless authentication flows, PWAs, Stripe payment systems, internal operations tools, and branded intake portals. I also bring a background in digital media production, visual storytelling, and on-set image technology.

I am based in Petaluma, California and work remotely. I am interested in leading or contributing to AI-native product engineering, application security, creative technology, and design-forward full-stack product development.

Experience

Career history

Founder & AI-Native Product Engineer Xkaii Studio

I design and ship premium interactive websites and products using AI-native development workflows with Claude Code and Cursor. I take products from blank files through live deployment and validate quality with custom security tooling.

I built an interactive React and React Three Fiber showcase with 13 concept experiences, WebGL heroes, scroll-driven storytelling, and a shared design system. I also author automated red-team loops that attack live deployments, triage successful attacks, patch verified findings, and re-run tests to confirm controls hold.

Founder & Product Engineer Th3Circle LLC

I designed and shipped a live multi-creator subscription platform with onboarding, passwordless one-tap authentication, creator dashboards, checkout, and subscriber lifecycle experiences.

I built an installable PWA with silent service-worker updates through Netlify CI/CD. The product integrates Stripe Checkout, subscriptions, and Connect payouts through 64 serverless functions backed by PostgreSQL with database row-level security.

Creative Technologist & Production Assistant Elements Music

I was brought on as a production assistant and expanded into web development and product design. I redesigned the artist intake experience, replacing an unbranded Google Form with a custom portal aligned to the label's visual identity.

I designed and built an internal operations workstation used daily by the review team. The workflow supports claims, graded audits, exports, and per-scout attribution without manual copy-paste, supported by a Figma design system for developer handoff.

Digital Media Producer & Owner Songolo Looks LLC

I direct visual storytelling for direct clients, covering video, motion, color, and multimedia production. This work provides the visual and production foundation for my design and product engineering practice.

I create cohesive digital media experiences that connect creative direction with polished interactive product design.

Digital Image Technician (DIT) IATSE Local 481

I owned on-set color, image quality, and continuity as a union Digital Image Technician across two feature films.

My work included productions such as Netflix's The Discovery and The Polka King, ensuring reliable digital-image workflows during production.
