About
Started writing software and automation tooling at scale, moved into SRE and MLOps to understand how complex systems survive the real world, and now applies that full-stack instinct to AI: architecting multi-agent pipelines with LangGraph and CrewAI, building RAG systems with vector search, and deploying LLM-powered applications that don't just work in demos.
