/ about

A quick snapshot

Engineer at the intersection of data & AI

I love the full arc — designing reliable pipelines that move hundreds of millions of rows, and shipping applied AI: retrieval-augmented generation, LLM apps and computer-vision systems. Four AI internships, one production data-engineering role, and a bias for taking things from notebook to deployment.
