About

I'm building the world's first foundational AI model for digital interaction. As a Machine Learning Engineer with a strong product mindset, I bring hands-on experience in building and scaling ML systems across domains, from computer vision and LLMs/GenAI to distributed ML. I work on the entire stack of ML development: data, model training, deployment, evaluation, optimization, pipelining, and large-scale deployment and monitoring. I thrive at the intersection of research and engineering, solving ambiguous problems, optimizing for real-world impact, and collaborating across teams to turn ideas into production-ready systems.
