Work
Over the past 5 years, I've evolved from a researcher developing cutting-edge computer vision systems to leading engineering organizations at scale. I've architected cloud infrastructures handling over 100M daily requests, pioneered AI initiatives, and built cross-platform applications that dramatically improved business outcomes. My expertise spans full-stack development, deep learning, and distributed systems, with contributions that have directly influenced $37M+ in funding. Whether leading world-class engineering teams or providing technical consulting to founders & C-suite executives, I consistently deliver solutions that combine technical excellence with strategic business value.
