About me

I'm a full-stack developer with deep experience building at AI startups. I started coding at 11, writing Java mods for Minecraft, and eventually moved into web development with React and Node.

Since then, I've been a founding engineer at multiple AI startups building RAG pipelines, real-time voice systems, and scalable inference infrastructure. I enjoy complex frontend work too, like architecting a browser-based video editor with a timeline interface.

I'm always looking for hard problems where good engineering can turn a novel AI capability into a real product.
