About

I'm an ML engineer with 3 years of experience deploying generative AI models to production, serving 10K+ users across multiple platforms.

While completing my engineering degree, I built production systems as a sole developer, shipping 5 production models across music generation, LLM inference, and video synthesis platforms.

My unique journey gives me a full-stack perspective — combining web development foundations with cutting-edge ML expertise. I've delivered measurable impact: platforms serving real users, AI models in production, and inference costs optimized at scale.
