Data/AI/ML Engineer by trade. Builder and habitual tinkerer by heart. I thrive on a broad curiosity for new tech, constantly experimenting with new setups to build scalable, user-friendly solutions from the infrastructure up. With a deep stack spanning Python, TypeScript, Kubernetes, and Cloud architecture, I bridge DevOps and Intelligence to orchestrate production-ready technological systems!

GUI OS AI Agent Benchmarking
Developed an AI Agent benchmarking framework leveraging Hugging Face’s smolagents to evaluate agent performance within a secure, sandboxed GUI OS environment.
Open Data Platform
A cloud-agnostic open data platform architected on Kubernetes. It leverages Pulumi and Python as Infrastructure-as-Code (IaC) to dynamically provision nodes and storage, ensuring seamless deployments across any VPS or cloud provider.
About
I am a versatile Data/AI/ML/Cloud Engineer specializing in Python, TypeScript, and Cloud-native architectures, combined with strong DevOps expertise. I thrive in 'zero-to-one' environments-those that aren’t fully carved out yet-where I can act as a builder, creating structure out of ambiguity. My approach blends design thinking with a pragmatic, fail-fast mindset, allowing me to innovate quickly and iterate based on real-world feedback. Beyond the technical stack, I am a firm believer in shared ownership. I engage stakeholders and end-users early in the lifecycle to ensure long-term adoption and alignment. My passion lies in building scalable, reliable tools that solve messy problems and empower people to work more intelligent every day.
