What I'm looking for

I seek roles building scalable AI-driven products where I can lead architecture, mentor engineers, ship end-to-end solutions, and drive measurable business impact.

I am a software engineer and technical co‑founder with experience building scalable, AI-powered applications and leading end-to-end platform development for university pilots and fintech products.

I led architectural decisions that improved unit economics by 70%, reduced cloud costs and deployment times, mentored junior engineers, and delivered production RAG, knowledge-graph, and ML solutions integrating FastAPI, React, and Azure services.

I collaborate closely with product, design, and education stakeholders to translate learning science and user research into intuitive UX, while maintaining high uptime, CI/CD practices, and a focus on measurable business outcomes.
