F4 IndustriesYC S25Building the document platform behind modern manufacturing.
As a Founding Engineer at F4 Industries, I lead development of a production Rust/Dioxus Windows application and contribute across the GCP platform, release systems, licensing, and computer-vision workflows behind it.
66%faster on a 204-PDF production benchmark
75%lower median per-file processing latency
2major Windows releases shipped
Selected impact
Measured where it matters.
Performance, scale, and correctness—not activity counts.
Document processing
Reduced runtime for a 204-PDF batch while every file hash, size, and page count matched the baseline.
Research records
Built a data-analysis pipeline that processed millions of scholarly records in under 15 seconds.
Research projects
Delivered software, data, and ML systems across a wide range of university research collaborations.
About
A systems mindset,
with product instincts.
I’m a software engineer with 4+ years across startup, consulting, and research environments. I care about measurable performance, resilient integrations, legible interfaces, and shipping software people can actually use.
Before F4, I delivered enterprise billing and tenant-administration software at Pariveda and built research systems at the University of Alabama Libraries. My toolkit spans Rust, Python, TypeScript, SQL, cloud infrastructure, computer vision, and applied LLM systems.

Have a hard product or systems problem?
If you’re building desktop software, cloud platforms, applied ML, or a product with unusual technical constraints, I’d be glad to compare notes.
