About Me

I’m an AI engineer specializing in agentic LLM systems, human-centered AI, and optimization—with a strong background in UX and front-end web development. I have 10+ years of experience shipping production web applications.

Notable Achievements

  • Reduced ADHD diagnosis time by 80% by building an AI-assisted mental healthcare platform from ideation through early clinical testing.
  • Achieved 1500x+ speedups (1 day → 1 minute) by implementing custom GPU parallelization using Python, NumPy, Numba, and CUDA/C.
  • Came up with six novel top-performing solutions within my first 100 questions on LeetCode (write-up), including a top 10% runtime and memory solution for a LeetCode Hard (example: Trapping Rain Water — beats 91% runtime and 93% memory).
  • 2024 AI Conference Hack Day HackrChallenge Winner (LinkedIn announcement).
  • 10+ years shipping production web applications; delivered 30+ end-to-end digital projects across product strategy, UX, and engineering.

Claude Code Skills

Claude Code skills I've built. More at github.com/Minda/skills.

  • lowkey-viz — Markdown, TUI-style visualizations (distributions, timelines, correlations, outliers) that surface patterns and edges in any dataset.
  • lumenscope — Maps a text onto 10 polar-opposite poles, scores 7 aspects per pole using exact quotes from the text, and surfaces meta-patterns.
  • venn — ASCII Venn diagram comparing two or three sources: what only one claims, what they share, and where they contradict.
  • creating-ascii-drawings — ASCII diagrams that make complex conceptual relationships tangible and memorable.
  • de-ai — Rewrites AI-generated text to sound more human by removing telltale patterns and adding authentic detail.
