What I'm looking for

I want to lead cross-functional engineering programs where I can set clear roadmaps, mentor engineers, and deliver production-ready software -ideally at the intersection of AI/ML and systems engineering.

I'm an engineering leader with a PhD in ECE and over a decade of R&D experience across automotive, medtech, and semiconductor manufacturing. My core work spans signal processing, sensor fusion, and computer vision. I bridge science, engineering, and business, leading cross-functional teams and driving projects from early research through to production.

Beyond my industry work, I'm building AI-powered applications — including an end-to-end image pipeline and conversational AI, with a focus on cloud-based deployment. I also explore multimodal approaches and create with AI in text, image, and video.
