About

Practical AI, built end to end

I'm an AI and software engineer, and I approach my work with curiosity and care. When an idea takes shape in my mind, I follow it all the way through to something built and genuinely used.

My hands-on experience spans machine learning, deep learning, computer vision and software development. I start with cleaning and preparing the data, then design, train and evaluate the model, and stay with it through deployment and integration into real-world applications. What I enjoy most is working with real data in all its complexity and messiness, and integrating AI APIs into tools that are genuinely useful.

I have a research-driven mindset. I've contributed to academic research, peer-reviewed papers for scientific conferences, and taught and served as a teaching assistant, and explaining concepts to others sharpens my own understanding. I've also built AI and software solutions in industrial settings, where a project can't just work well, it has to be reliable and maintainable. My goal is to turn AI into a practical solution for real-world problems.

Curious by default, precise by habit.
