Background
I'm an AI & Machine Learning Engineer whose work spans production software engineering, machine learning research, industrial AI, and intelligent system design. I care about closing the gap between promising AI ideas and reliable systems that actually ship.
My work sits at the intersection of Generative AI, intelligent agents, computer vision, and production machine learning. I approach these systems with a focus on simplicity, reliability, measurable impact, and strong engineering practices.
My PhD brings research rigor. My software engineering background brings pragmatism. I use both to build better AI systems.
