Hello, I'm

Senior AI Engineer

I design, train and ship intelligent software for 200+ businesses — from Python ML pipelines to Rust engines and apps people keep on their phones.

// 01About

I build at the seam between research and product. Models are only useful once they are fast, observable and in someone's hands — so I write the training loop, the inference server, the plugin and the UI, and I measure all of it.
