Summary

I'm an AI engineer who loves learning new things, exploring new tech, and researching how far these systems can really go. I build agentic AI systems, RAG pipelines, and full-stack products, and I enjoy taking an idea all the way from a rough prototype to something running in production. When I'm not working I'm usually tinkering with a new model, framework, or side project. I also run Strophic, my own AI consulting and product studio.
