Hey, I'm JR. I'm a software engineer who builds AI agents and the systems they run on. At Accenture Federal, I've spent 5+ years on federal platforms used by 20M+ Americans. I also designed and built MintLocke, where Lockebot, its AI agent, turns plain-language requests into automated, policy-checked transactions.

Previously: ML research at UTSA.
