Senior Engineering Manager Β· Open Source Maintainer Β· AI Builder
I lead platform engineering at Comcast Cable β Device API Middleware for RDK-based set-top boxes and Smart TVs.
I also drive AI tooling adoption across engineering teams, evaluating and rolling out tools like Copilot, Windsurf, Devin, Claude Code, and Sourcegraph Amp to improve developer productivity at scale.
On the side, I independently design, build, and ship AI-native products β from zero to production β spanning full-stack web, mobile, and macOS, with AI embedded at the core of each product rather than bolted on.
I maintain multiple repositories under the RDK Central open source umbrella, focused on the entservices layer and meta layers for RDK platforms.
| Area | Repos |
|---|---|
| Plugin & Service Layer | rdkservices, entservices-* |
| Meta Layers | meta-rdk, meta-rdk-video, meta-middleware-generic-support |
RDK powers millions of set-top boxes and Smart TVs globally. My work here spans plugin architecture, entservices API design, and meta layer maintenance across device and video stacks.
I build and ship AI-native products independently β from concept to production.
| Project | What it does | Tech Stack | Link |
|---|---|---|---|
| MeetActions.ai | AI-powered meeting action item tracker β turns meeting notes into structured, assigned next steps | Full-stack web app (React + TypeScript + Supabase) that parses meeting transcripts via LLM and extracts structured action items, decisions, and risks β with AES-256 encryption at rest, per-user RLS, rate limiting, and audit logging | meetactions.ai |
| SubsMon | Subscription monitoring tool β tracks and surfaces recurring charges across accounts | Cross-platform subscription tracker built with Expo (React Native) and Supabase β native iOS & Android apps (App Store + Google Play) with real-time sync, spending analytics, and renewal alerting | subsmon.com |
| PasteClip | Smart clipboard manager with AI-enhanced paste suggestions | macOS menu bar utility (Swift + SwiftUI + Core Data) with keyboard-first clipboard history, per-app exclusions, pattern redaction, and iCloud sync β shipped through full Apple signing and App Store pipeline | pasteclip.app |
These are independently designed, built, and shipped β not demos. All projects were built using GenAI coding tools including Bolt.new, Claude Code, and Codex. Several also use AI internally within the app itself (LLM-powered features, not just AI-assisted development).
| Project | What it does |
|---|---|
| Mac AI Assistant | A native macOS app that builds a private, on-device knowledge graph from your Calendar, Reminders, Contacts, Mail, Outlook, Safari, Notes, iWork, and Microsoft Office β and answers natural-language questions about your work, relationships, and projects using local AI. |
| ClearStack | Cross-platform newsletter triage mobile app built with Expo (React Native) and Supabase. Helps you efficiently triage email newsletters with an intuitive swipe interface β connect your Gmail account to automatically import newsletters and decide which ones to keep or mute. |
