About

About Me

I like building software where product taste and systems thinking meet.

I am a Computer Engineering graduate from NYU focused on AI systems, retrieval workflows, and developer tools that make complex software easier to reason about.

My work tends to sit close to the engineering surface: model orchestration, data flow, observability, interfaces, and the infrastructure needed to make AI products reliable.

I care about clean abstractions, fast iteration loops, and interfaces that help engineers inspect what their systems are doing.
