My Work

I'm a software engineer with a B.S. in Software Engineering. My work spans full-stack web development with a strong focus on AI integration. My experience includes AI-native product design: architecting agentic workflows, implementing RAG pipelines, and applying context engineering to ship LLM-powered features. I am most interested at the intersection between creativity and AI-engineering, enforcing a strong curiousity about how AI integrates into the best products.
