Who I Am

Software & AI Engineer focused on building systems that solve real problems.

I'm interested in systems that solve hard problems: how do you make AI explainable? How do you build planning intelligence for regulated environments? How do you scale production ML at enterprise?

I've explored these through building a startup (Frensei), contributing to enterprise ML platforms (Red Hat), and researching explainability methods for graph neural networks. The work teaches you what matters: reliability, clarity, and systems that actually work in production.
