About Me

I'm a computer science engineer with a deep interest in machine learning, distributed systems, and product engineering. I enjoy working on problems that sit at the edge of research and real-world application.

When I'm not writing code, I'm reading papers, contributing to open source, or occasionally writing about tech on my blog. I believe in building things that are simple, fast, and intentional.

Currently open to research collaborations and interesting full-time opportunities.
