Senior AI Engineer · NeuralBridge
Focused on AI since 2022: multi-model expert evaluation marketplace, RAG-powered semantic matching, hybrid fraud detection, AI book writing assistant, real-time crypto analytics, LLM-driven Telegram swap bot, AI audiobook generator, and AI character generation platform.
Senior Full-Stack Engineer · NeuralBridge
Full-stack engineering at scale: digital payment platform (Alipay-level), e-commerce ecosystem (Alibaba-level), license plate recognition with physical gate control, and enterprise management platforms for restaurants and shopping malls.
Software Engineer · NovaCircuit
Handled multiple projects simultaneously in an understaffed startup: endpoint monitoring with behavioral anomaly detection, CAPTCHA recognition, web/desktop video conferencing (WebRTC), HWP 5.0 document parsing for LibreOffice, Android/Unity APK reverse engineering, KakaoTalk desktop client, and a product sales platform.
Software Developer Intern · KOAST
First professional assignment: built Tetris for a new-hire competition, ported SWF Flash games to Cocos2D for Android and iOS, built a 3D modeling tool integrated with Autodesk Revit, and developed an offline dictionary app for architects.
Early Beginnings · Self-taught
Started with legacy Windows systems (Win95 through Vista), learned Pascal, Visual Basic, Delphi, and Flash Script before moving into C/C++, Windows NT Programming, APIs, MFC, and Qt. Built a VNC-style remote desktop tool as a teenager.
“Darian doesn't just write code — he absorbs the entire system in days and starts shipping by the end of the week. He doesn't need hand-holding; he needs a problem. Give him something nobody else can figure out, and he'll come back with a working solution.”
Ted Lee - CTO — Fintech Platform
“In an understaffed startup where each developer juggled two or three projects at once, Darian never blinked. Desktop, mobile, web, reverse engineering, hardware integration — he handled whatever came across his desk and shipped it. He thrives in chaos and somehow always delivers.”
“Darian is the rare engineer who can bridge hardware, AI, and full-stack web without missing a beat. He picks up new stacks faster than most people pick up new tools. When the problem seems impossible, he's the person you call.”
