About

🎓My path into engineering has taken me through Biomedical Engineering, research, software development, machine learning, and AI. They may seem like different areas, but for me they’ve all been ways of learning how to approach a problem, test an idea, and build something useful.💡 I enjoy taking an idea from a rough sketch to something I can actually run and figuring out the architecture, writing the code, breaking things, debugging them, and improving the result. That’s what draws me to the intersection of AI, software engineering, and real-world systems.🌠 Through my work and projects, I’ve explored full-stack development, machine learning, reinforcement learning, LLM applications, RAG, vector databases, and AI agents. I’m especially interested in the engineering behind intelligent systems and how they can move from interesting demos to reliable, useful products. Research has also taught me to be comfortable experimenting and figuring things out when there isn’t an obvious answer. I don’t know everything yet, but I enjoy learning what I need to build the thing in front of me. 😺 I’m currently exploring AI Engineering, Software Engineering, Applied AI/ML, and Forward Deployment roles. Mostly I'm just trying to build good things, learn a lot along the way, and see where that takes me. 🚀
