Curriculum Vitae

Experience & beyond

The full picture — roles, education, research, recognition, and what I do for fun.

I build AI products, developer platforms, and increasingly, intelligent hardware systems.

Over the years, I’ve worked across software engineering, AI systems, product architecture, and rapid product development. I enjoy taking ideas from concept to production quickly — validating with real users, iterating fast, and building systems that solve meaningful problems.

Currently building Plugie, an AI-powered platform that helps local businesses reach more customers and deliver better customer experiences by connecting them with people actively searching for their products and services. Over 50 businesses are currently using Plugie.

I care deeply about building useful things, learning fast, and turning ambitious ideas into real products.
