About

Backend and AI engineer building production systems at the intersection of distributed systems and GenAI. Over the last couple of years, I’ve worked on large-scale AI generation systems, multimodal workflows, agentic video pipelines, and the backend infrastructure around them. I’ve also built configurable video-generation workflows using Temporal and LangGraph, designed to make experimentation across models, generation strategies, and evaluators fast without sacrificing reliability. My core stack includes Python, Django, LangGraph, Temporal, Kafka, AWS, vector databases, and multimodal generation tooling. I care about the engineering around AI as much as the models themselves: reliability, observability, cost, state, retries, and scalable backend design. I enjoy working on ambiguous problems with high ownership, especially where backend engineering, AI systems, infrastructure, and product meet. Outside engineering, I’m also a musician. Music gives me a creative counterbalance to the technical work I spend most of my time doing.
