About

Portrait

I build systems that think.

I am a software engineer specializing in artificial intelligence — from large language models and autonomous agents to production ML infrastructure. My work sits at the intersection of rigorous engineering and frontier AI research.

Through consultancy, I help organizations navigate the complexity of adopting AI at scale. Through my newsletter, I distill the signal from the noise in a fast-moving field. Through my projects, I push the boundary of what intelligent software can do.

My approach is grounded in precision: clean architectures, measurable outcomes, and systems designed to endure. No hype — only what works.
