SENIOR AI-CLOUD ENGINEER

Engineer.
Thinker.
Builder.

I build intelligent systems that ship: edge inference on drones, LLM applications, and cloud platforms engineered to scale.

Neural Observatory

2026 ↗

Interactive, honest visualizations of a real GPT-2 forward pass: all 144 attention heads, the logit lens, and a guided 3D walkthrough from tokens to prediction. Every number is measured, not simulated.

Resist

2026 ↗

Android app that curbs phone addiction: every unlock is gated behind a typed reason. Fully offline event log, deterministic usage stats, and an on-device model that clusters reasons and predicts overruns.
