About Me

I am an engineer specialized with many startup experiences. During college, I built a software for the largest food distributor of its kind in Chicago. During that time, I also got to partner with a $500M+ tech company, building custom AR solution for the business working closely to the supply chain director. I have done many different AI projects since which you'll be able to see below, each with a website, and some traction as well.

I'm passionate about creating innovative solutions using cutting-edge technologies. My expertise spans AI engineering, full-stack development, and building user-friendly applications that solve complex problems. I particularly enjoy and excel at finding the simplest solutions to complex problems, always striving for efficiency and elegance in my work.

I love working with technologies like React, TypeScript, Node.js, and various AI frameworks to create impactful products that make a difference.
