Work Experience

SocaHybrid
Founding Engineer, Jun 2026 – PresentFull-time
  • Built and own the core matching engine: candidate generators, an LLM judge with reciprocity and facet-veto policy, and a constrained allocator, with an offline eval harness.
  • Own the Postgres task queue: at-most-once claims, stale-job reclaim, and pool budgeting that closed exhaustion and silent match loss.
  • Built the state layer (realtime sync bus over React Query + Zustand) and the admin surfaces on it: a curator console and a server-paginated Cost & Usage page.
  • Built an LLM cost ledger enforcing spend (daily kill-switch, per-user caps), shipped Backed (a WebGL collectible-card product), and closed four concurrency races while owning releases.

Senior Software Engineer, Jan 2025 – May 2026Full-time
Senior Software Engineer (Jan 2026 – May 2026) · Software Engineer (Jan 2025 – Dec 2025)
  • Founded the frontend citation system for an AI search product: cross-format highlighting across PDF/DOCX/Excel, message-level indices, and coordinate-accurate multi-page overlays.
  • Primary owner of the document-viewer surface: PDF/DOCX/XLSX/PPTX rendering plus a server-side PPTX-to-PDF pipeline.
  • Led the evaluations product: revamped the framework, built a scenario × test-case playground, founded the Evaluators module, and led Workbooks. Promoted to Senior within the year.
  • Founded the Rust evaluator subsystem in a ~540k-line engine (axum / tokio), shipped a petgraph hot-path optimization, and parallelized config preprocessing to cut deploy time 25%.

Member of Technical Staff, Jun 2023 – Dec 2024Full-time
Member of Technical Staff (Jul 2024 – Dec 2024) · Frontend Engineer Intern (Jun 2023 – Dec 2023)
  • Shipped 2 customer-facing features and 2 UX improvements in 4 months; owned frontend deployment releases.
  • Developed E2E tests for a legacy page and migrated it to Angular with zero production issues.
  • As an intern, shipped production fixes within days and a feature productizing recurring support requests, with strong usage in 2 days.

Projects

fabri: self-improving agent engineApache-2.0 · PyPI · github.com/Rushour0/fabri
  • Agents mine their own run traces into guidelines the next run retrieves, so they stop repeating mistakes. Hybrid BM25 + dense retrieval lifted recall@5 from 0.79 to 0.94 behind a CI eval gate; recursive sub-agents, per-model cost accounting, 5 providers, 1,000+ tests.
ludexel: prompt to playable Game Boy Advance ROMludexel.rushour0.com
  • Python generators drive a hand-written C engine compiled via devkitARM to a real .gba, with regression tests against a live mGBA build. React/FastAPI surface, agent-driven pipeline.
