Background: Software Engineering

Career desire: AI Eval Engineer, Benchmark Engineer, or Eval Operations.

Hi there, I'm a Computer Science student from Oregon State University (3.84 GPA) and grad student of the University of Texas at Austin for computer science. I have hands on experience shipping software across the full stack; from React frontends and Node/Express APIs to Android apps, raw-socket networking tools, CI/CD DevOps, and cloud backend systems. My Computer Science degree Software Engineering focused, my micro-credentials are in Theoretical Computer Science and Programming Fundamentals, and I'm planning to focus more on AI/ML in my graduate studies.

AI-agent evaluation aligns with my interests in debugging, regression testing, and reliability. I build repeatable evaluation workflows and analyze failures against explicit criteria. My blue-collar background taught me persistence and follow-through in demanding technical work.

I like work where correctness matters: tests, CI, debugging, reliability, and systems that have to hold up under real use.

Kotlin · Jetpack Compose · MVVM · StateFlow · Android SDK

GPS-based treasure hunt app with real geofence verification using the haversine formula (accurate to <10m). Built with MVVM and StateFlow for reactive, lifecycle-safe UI. Handles runtime permission denial and GPS signal loss.

React · Node.js · Express · MongoDB · Cloudflare · Render

Deployed React application with Node/Express REST APIs, MongoDB Atlas persistence, a contact form, and Stripe Checkout. Automated deployments run through Render and Cloudflare.

Running live at chansesyres.com.

Python · Raw Sockets · ICMP · RFC-792 · TCP/IP

Built from scratch using raw sockets; manually constructs RFC-792 ICMP Echo Request packets, computes checksums bit-by-bit, parses TTL-exceeded replies, and reconstructs full hop-by-hop network paths. Zero external dependencies.

Node.js · Express · MySQL · Relational Schema Design

Full-stack CRUD application with a normalized MySQL schema (6 entities, junction tables, cascading foreign keys). Server-rendered views and async AJAX workflows without page reloads.

C · POSIX Threads · Concurrent Programming

Low-level systems project using POSIX threading, mutexes, and shared memory to coordinate concurrent robot processes. Demonstrates OS-level concurrency concepts.

  

Note: My current workflow uses private branch pipelines, so my shipped work (PRs and Contributions) is not showing in GitHub’s public contribution graph.

I'm actively looking for full-time software engineering and AI-evaluation roles. If you're hiring or want to discuss a project, reach out:
