About
Who I am
Background
I'm an AI Engineer who has been building production ML systems since 2020 and LLM-powered applications since 2025.
My work spans the full AI stack — from RAG pipelines and time-series forecasting to the frontend interfaces that make them usable.
I've spent my whole career in the defense industry, where precision, security, and reliability are non-negotiable.
I bring that same rigor to every system I build.
