Nice To Meet You
Hi, I'm Ansel. I'm a detail-oriented engineer based in Kirkland, Washington, specializing in building intelligent user experiences. With over two decades of web development experience and years of professional impact, I design and ship clean, accessible interfaces that solve real problems for organizations of all sizes.
Today, I focus on applied AI engineering alongside my front-end and full-stack experience: integrating LLMs, RAG systems, and machine learning into production web applications using TypeScript, Next.js, and modern AI tooling. I'm passionate about the intersection of thoughtful product design and AI, where complex systems become intuitive experiences.
Whether it's architecting full-stack SaaS platforms, building AI-assisted developer tools, or implementing intelligent features that adapt to user needs, I bring a senior engineer's rigor to emerging technology and a product mindset to every line of code.
