Software engineer

AI-first software engineer building cloud-native products and intelligent systems.

Software Engineer

I design and build AI-oriented applications, cloud platforms, and full-stack systems that are practical to ship and easy to evolve. My work spans agentic workflows, LLM-backed products, infrastructure automation, and the engineering discipline needed to run them well.
