[ 01 ]PROFILE

Research-grade thinking. Production-grade engineering.

I'm a software engineer and machine learning engineer focused on building intelligent, scalable, and practical AI-powered systems. My work spans applied research, model development, and the cloud infrastructure that ships them — from computer vision and NLP to agentic systems and MLOps.

I care about systems that don't just demo well, but hold up in production: observable, reproducible, and honest about their limits.
