About

About Me

I'm an AI Engineer with experience building AI-powered applications, backend services, distributed systems, and data pipelines.

My recent work focuses on agentic AI, human-in-the-loop workflows, RAG systems, local AI, backend APIs, and production-minded automation.

I hold an M.S. in Data Analytics Engineering from George Mason University and have professional software engineering experience across AI, cloud, backend, and data systems.
