01 / About

Engineering grounded in evidence.

I am an AI and software engineer with experience spanning machine learning, systems programming, scientific computing, cloud infrastructure, and product development.

My work moves between research and production: from peer-reviewed NMR software and computational analysis to RAG pipelines, data-backed applications, and agentic AI experiences. I care about systems that are not only capable, but understandable, testable, and useful to the people relying on them.
