About

I am a senior software engineer with a strong interest in product development and end-to-end systems. I started as an embedded systems engineer at a startup before graduating, then spent years growing from intern to senior engineer and R&D team lead—shipping web and server products, owning infrastructure, and keeping quality and delivery speed high.

Today I focus on AI/ML, distributed systems, and building technology products that solve real problems. I love working with a small, sharp team to turn ideas into something people actually use.
