Now — April 2026

I'm currently building production software for data-intensive AI systems: coding robust pipelines, engineering data flows, and shipping LLM features that remain dependable at scale. The work spans data engineering, big data processing, and agentic AI patterns where autonomous agents collaborate inside smart systems instead of single isolated prompts.

About

I see technology as a tool for creating opportunity. My focus is on getting intelligent systems out of the lab and into the real world, prioritizing reliability, interpretability, and genuine usefulness. I thrive on open-ended challenges and enjoy collaborating to build systems that matter, regardless of the industry.

Beyond building platforms, my passion is building people. I run workshops, mentor students, and actively explore how AI can open doors for those who usually don't get access to it. I believe the most interesting work happens at the intersection of technical depth and human impact.
