What I'm looking for

I’m looking to build production AI and computer-vision products where I can own end-to-end delivery—architecture, implementation, testing, deployment, and customer-facing releases—while leading product discovery and technical decisions.

I’m a senior software engineer with 8+ years of experience building production software and applied computer-vision systems. I combine hands-on ML/computer-vision engineering with product thinking to deliver from architecture through testing, deployment, and customer-facing release.

In my work, I’ve built end-to-end video analytics capabilities—object detection and tracking, dataset preparation, temporal event logic, and model evaluation—using Python/C++ inference with PyTorch, OpenCV, and ONNX Runtime. I focus on reliability too, with reproducible ML pipelines, robust testing, and deployment workflows.

Most recently, I co-founded and lead product and engineering for an AI tutoring experience for university STEM students, owning end-to-end delivery from user research and onboarding to release decisions and iteration. Previously, as a Product Owner and earlier a Computer Vision & Data Engineer, I shipped products and data products that connect AI systems to real operational decisions.
