Who I Am

I'm a Senior Engineer, Architect, and AI Product Engineer with a proven track record of designing and delivering advanced generative AI applications. With 7 years in software development and 4 years in AI engineering, I specialize in system architecture, model integration, and productization to build scalable, impactful solutions.

I bring an entrepreneur's mindset to every project, with a track record of early-stage launches and driving product strategy from vision to execution. I've helped numerous startups build and launch their initial products, delivering solutions to clients in 10+ countries across gaming, filmmaking, education, healthcare, and manufacturing industries.

As an active open-source project maintainer, I contribute to the AI and developer community while constantly pushing the boundaries of what's possible. I'm passionate about turning ideas into reality and building products that make a meaningful impact.
