About

I'm a founding engineer who builds AI systems from zero to production. At Peak AI, I architected a conversational voice agent with persistent memory and NLP-driven coaching—shipping it to both App Stores while leading beta programs with 100+ testers. I don't just write code; I own products.

My work sits at the intersection of AI engineering, full-stack development, and product leadership. From designing system architecture and CI/CD pipelines to presenting to investors and coordinating cross-functional teams—I operate across the entire spectrum because shipping meaningful products demands it.

Technically, I've built ensemble ML systems achieving 98.54% F1-scores, static analysis frameworks detecting race conditions in 43% of embedded programs, and production mobile apps with real-time voice processing. I studied Computer Science with Applied Mathematics at NYU Abu Dhabi, where coursework in Static Program Analysis, NLP, and Quantum Computing gave me both theoretical depth and the engineering rigor to tackle hard problems.

Beyond the Code

NYU Abu Dhabi gave me more than a degree—it gave me a global lens. Studying alongside peers from 100+ countries and traveling across the Middle East, Europe, and Asia shaped how I approach both problems and people.

As Head of Project Management at Violet Ventures, I secured $10K in VC funding, led teams of engineers and designers, and orchestrated events with 300+ attendees. These experiences taught me that great engineering is only half the equation—communication, planning, and knowing when to empower others are what turn good code into shipped products.

Outside of work, I find clarity in solo backpacking, photography, fishing, and film analysis. Whether I'm debugging a distributed system or planning a hike through the Alps, I bring the same curiosity and obsessive attention to detail.
