About me

Engineering at the intersection of software & AI.

I'm a senior software engineer with 5+ years shipping production software — and for the past few years my focus has been AI. I build agentic systems, LLM-powered features and RAG pipelines, then wrap them in scalable MERN, TypeScript and AWS architecture that holds up under real-world load, with performance and security baked in.

Today I work as a Senior Software Engineer at Turing on Google's code LLM, contributing to Gemini's RLHF pipeline as both trainer and reviewer — defining training protocols, building datasets and optimizing model outputs to be more accurate and useful.

Before that I led JavaScript engineering across fintech and healthcare, shipping everything from HIPAA-compliant patient platforms to AI assistants with vector search and OpenAI integrations. I move fast in cross-functional Agile teams and love turning a vague brief into something intelligent, real and used.
