BatonBot / LocalChainAI

A Chat-Driven App for software building: user requests flow through an LLM that emits structured task instructions, which BatonBot’s orchestrator parses and dispatches to CLI coding agents in parallel.

• ▸Processed ~128M tokens in 43 minutes from a single user workflow
• ▸Runs multiple isolated AI build sessions in parallel
• ▸Skill-file interface for external agents and tools

Where I've worked

1. Electrical Engineer @ URO Parts / A.P.A. Industries, Inc.

   Apr 2019 – Present · Simi Valley, CA

   • Develop bench test protocols for automotive electrical components including ABS components, cameras, transfer case motors, ignition coils, LIN-based switches, temperature sensors, headlight control units, and HID ballasts.
   • Validate electrical behavior against OE benchmarks using oscilloscopes, power supplies, signal generators, logic analyzers, CAN/LIN tools, multimeters, current probes, and custom bench harnesses.
   • Designed custom bench fixtures for window regulator motor-control testing and temperature/resistance/voltage characterization.
   • Identified LIN window-switch signal mismatches, PWM activation-threshold failures, and material substitutions that could cause field failures or premature degradation.
   • Produce formal internal validation reports documenting test methods, measured results, OE comparisons, root-cause evidence, and vendor corrective-action requirements.

2. Systems Engineer @ Airborne Wireless Network

   Aug 2018 – Apr 2019 · Simi Valley, CA

   • Supported field testing for an aircraft-to-ground wireless communication prototype combining GPS, radio coordination, and optical laser communication for internet transmission.
   • Coordinated engineering activities, vendor communication, equipment preparation, and test-run logistics for prototype hardware evaluations.
   • Assisted troubleshooting of communication-link behavior, latency, interference, power issues, and hardware defects during field tests.
   • Helped isolate a GPS calibration power-drain issue by simplifying the active hardware configuration and disconnecting auxiliary radio/laser components during satellite acquisition.

3. Quality Assurance Engineer @ General Motors

   Jan 2017 – Jul 2018 · Chandler, AZ

   • Coordinated release-readiness smoke testing across 60+ aftermarket and supply-chain applications, managing test matrices, tester schedules, pass/fail status, and defect tracking.
   • Tested APIs, databases, front-end applications, reports, and ETL outputs to validate source-to-target integrity and expected business-rule behavior.
   • Created detailed defect reports in TFS with reproduction steps, screenshots, severity, and acceptance criteria; worked directly with developers to isolate root causes.
   • Used SQL validation and reconciliation checks to identify data-integrity issues, including bad computation defects in finance/cost-tracking applications before production release.
   • Supported QA automation using C# and an internal test framework.

4. Software Developer @ General Motors

   Jan 2014 – Jan 2017 · Chandler, AZ

   • Developed, modified, and debugged Java-based web applications supporting service workflows, including key replacement tracking and technician-facing service document systems.
   • Improved legacy JavaScript/UI workflows by reducing repetitive user actions and enabling faster file-save operations from active modal workflows.
   • Remediated XSS vulnerabilities involving malicious HTML/JavaScript injection into text fields, helping protect database-backed application records.
   • Built and maintained Linux shell-script data-transfer workflows supporting technician service data across Oracle database environments.
   • Wrote Python automation to execute shell-script procedures based on day-specific transfer rules, reducing manual workflow time by approximately 4 hours.
   • Used SQL, Jenkins, Tortoise/version-control workflows, and release procedures to support application maintenance, data validation, and team handoff.
