I'm a cloud and automation-focused engineer with hands-on experience building computer vision systems, self-hosting production web applications, running AI inference workloads on local GPU hardware, and managing deployment infrastructure end-to-end. Recent Great Oak High School graduate (June 2026), heading to Cal State San Marcos for a B.S. in Computer Science (Fall 2026), and pursuing the AWS Certified Cloud Practitioner (CLF-C02). Open to internships and part-time roles.

Deployed & operated AWS's multi-provider Generative AI gateway from an empty repo to a live, TLS-secured production endpoint — provisioning ~120 AWS resources with Terraform and owning the full deployment lifecycle. An OpenAI-compatible API layer (LiteLLM) fronts Amazon Bedrock, exposing Amazon Nova and Anthropic Claude through one endpoint with usage-based routing and automatic fallbacks. Provisioned VPC, ECS Fargate, ALB, PostgreSQL on RDS, Redis on ElastiCache, WAF, Secrets Manager, and Bedrock VPC endpoints via Terraform with a remote S3 state backend; custom domain on Route 53 + a DNS-validated ACM certificate; horizontal autoscaling, least-privilege IAM, Redis caching, and per-key cost/token observability. Layered Bedrock Guardrails + a Microsoft Presidio PII-masking sidecar — then traced a masking defect to a dependency version and fixed it via a controlled upgrade and regression testing. Built one-command spin-up / spin-down cost controls and rebuilt the entire stack from Terraform state to verify it.

A real-time computer-vision agent that drives physical Android phones autonomously to play a mobile game. It streams live video off each device over USB, locates targets with a fine-tuned YOLO11 detector, and executes the on-screen gestures to act on them — closing the perception → decision → actuation loop end to end. A self-supervised data flywheel has the running agent label its own training data (5,400+ frames), corrected through a human-in-the-loop review UI and fed back through a train → validation-gate → ship pipeline with ONNX export. Latency engineered to the floor — per-frame capture ~600ms → ~1.3ms, each tap ~200ms → ~20ms — with multi-device orchestration, self-healing recovery, and a live MJPEG dashboard. Structural safety invariants enforced in code and tests; 127 automated tests.

Live, self-hosted product at qorlyt.com. Upload a single image, get a textured .glb 3D model back in ~80 seconds via a local ComfyUI + Hunyuan3D 2.1 GPU pipeline. A persistent WebSocket to ComfyUI maps per-node progress back to each user in real time, an async job queue serializes GPU work with live queue position + ETA, and every generation is stored with an in-browser 3D viewer. Shared-password auth, GPU health pings, persistent history.

Paste a Spotify link, get a brat-style lyric video. FastAPI pipeline: Spotify metadata → local / yt-dlp audio → Whisper word-level timing (LRCLIB fallback) → Pillow frame rendering → ffmpeg mux. Async job queue, graceful failure handling on every external call, packaged with pyproject.toml, MIT-licensed, and CI-tested on every push.

Desktop app that turns any YouTube video into scheduled, captioned TikTok clips. Splits into 60–70s vertical segments (silence-based or LLM cliffhanger cuts), burns in word-by-word karaoke captions (6 style presets), and uploads on a schedule. NVENC GPU encoding with CPU fallback, parallel encoding (2–4× faster), and hybrid transcription — YouTube captions with automatic local Whisper fill-in for censored words.

Persistent, Redis-compatible key-value database written from scratch in Java 21. An LSM-tree storage engine — write-ahead log, leveled compaction, bloom filters, concurrent flush — behind a TCP server speaking the Redis RESP protocol, so standard Redis clients connect directly. TLS, multi-user auth, pub/sub, and snapshots, all backed by 203 automated tests.
