01 — About

Engineer first, curious builder always.

I like working across the stack and adapting to whatever a product needs most, whether that is backend architecture, front-end UX, or AI integration.

My background mixes industry and research: internships at Amazon and AWS, plus LLM entropy research at the NETS Lab at Florida Tech.

I am especially interested in practical generative AI, computer vision, and systems that make complex workflows feel simple for real people.
