I use data and AI to tackle complex problems and push toward more general, adaptive systems. In practice, that means building the full ecosystem — models, agents, tools, and evaluation — with a focus on client-facing services in finance and healthcare, where better systems can materially change outcomes.

I love building. Whether it's agents, full-stack applications, data infrastructure, or developer tools — I'm happiest when shipping something end-to-end. My projects span Python, TypeScript, and Rust, from weekend prototypes to production systems.

What I do

ML Product Work

End-to-end from architecture and experimentation to rollout and monitoring.

LLM Systems

Evaluation-driven pipelines with rubrics, regression tests, and human-in-the-loop review.

Full-Stack Shipping

APIs, frontends, infrastructure — not just models. Python, TypeScript, Rust.

Data Platforms

RAG, semantic registries, dashboards, automation — making insights usable.
