## About

```text
Full-stack engineer who likes owning things end to end, from backend architecture to the mobile app to the customer who ends up paying for it. In the last year I've built a production video pipeline that closed our first paying enterprise client, shipped an Android app, cut AI infra costs by 70-90% in a couple of different systems by tracing bugs down to the exact line causing them, and built a LangGraph based multi-agent pipeline from scratch. I'm most comfortable in ambiguous, early-stage environments where I have to figure out the right problem before I solve it, and I genuinely enjoy the parts of engineering most people skip: reading the billing docs, questioning why a metric looks off, going one layer deeper than the ticket asked for.
```
