Software Engineer

I’m a Software Engineer interested in building at the intersection of AI, Machine Learning, and Full-Stack Engineering. I’m excited by the challenge of taking powerful AI models and making them efficient, reliable, safe, and scalable enough to use in real-world products.

I enjoy building end-to-end systems, experimenting with how AI behaves in production, and working on problems around inference, reliability, performance, and user experience. I’m most interested in projects where AI goes beyond a demo and becomes something people can actually depend on.

I’m continuing to grow as an engineer by building, experimenting, and learning how to create AI systems that are both capable and trustworthy.
