About the engineer

A resume, but with the architecture left visible.

My center of gravity is the boundary between AI behavior and production software. I like the parts where data quality, system design, retrieval, latency, and developer tooling all meet.

I work across RAG pipelines, LLM integration, semantic search, agentic workflows, backend architecture, distributed systems, databases, and algorithmic trading tooling — with a strong preference for systems that are observable, testable, and explainable.

    Have a hard system problem?

    Send the context. I’m most interested in work where AI, backend architecture and data engineering are not separate lanes.
