About

I’m a Forward-Deployed Engineer focused on turning real-world business and operational problems into practical technical solutions using AI, automation, data, and software. My background spans software and game testing, technical program management, applied AI, data analytics, and stakeholder-driven solution delivery. This combination has given me both a strong engineering mindset and an understanding of how technical solutions need to work in real-world environments. In my current work, I focus on understanding stakeholder requirements, designing AI-assisted workflows, experimenting with emerging technologies, and iterating solutions based on feedback and practical outcomes. My experience includes generative AI workflows, AI-assisted translation, synthetic voice workflows, localization, prompt engineering, Python, SQL, Power BI, machine learning, and technical workflow design. Previously, as a Technical Program Manager, I coordinated teams delivering localization workflows while implementing AI-assisted technologies and maintaining linguistic, contextual, and quality standards. I also bring several years of software and game testing experience, where I developed strong skills in debugging, quality validation, documentation, regression testing, identifying edge cases, and working with developers to solve technical issues. I’m particularly interested in opportunities involving: • Forward-Deployed Engineering • Applied AI & AI Automation • Generative AI & LLM Applications • Technical Solutions & Solution Engineering • Data Analytics & Business Intelligence • AI Workflow Design & Optimization • Technical Program Management • Rapid Prototyping & Experimentation I enjoy working where technology meets real-world problems & understanding the problem, building the solution, deploying it, learning from feedback, and continuously improving it.
