I'm a Machine Learning Engineer with broad experience across enterprise ML/AI initiatives, spanning most things from ground-up model development, infra-as-code to CI/CD and cloud-native deployments. I specialize in building data pipelines, MLOps pipelines, and LLM-powered applications. Lots of "backend stuff".

I'm good at taking ML from "cool demo" to "actually deployed, working well thanks". I've led teams through startup acquisitions, enterprise migrations, and various systems that decided to break at inconvenient times. These days I'm doing a lot of data/MLOps/infra work and building full-stack LLM applications.

Beyond working for money, I like tinkering across the stack and creatively applying computers to visual art and music. Vibe coding frontends/interfaces is fun. I stress a lot about AGI.
