About
What I do
Senior software engineer and AI Agent Engineer
I build AI agents, MCP servers, and agentic workflows on top of foundation models: I don’t train them, I design the systems that put them to work. 8+ years shipping digital products across EdTech, AdTech, hospitality, and e-commerce: I define API contracts with backend teams, modernize legacy systems without stalling production, and mentor junior developers. Where I add the most value is understanding problems, ordering ideas, and turning them into viable solutions.
