About

I'm an experienced programmer with a focus on algorithmics and problem solving, and an expertise in AI and ML. I've shipped as a protocol-verification lead inside a large team at Cadence, as the sole architect of an algo-trading PoC, and as a founder/CTO running a deep-learning data-collection product end-to-end.

Creative and dedicated, comfortable working solo or inside small, high-trust teams. I finished the coursework portion of my M.Sc. in 2025 and am now writing the thesis — so I'm available for full-time work in parallel, today.
