Summary

AI Engineer focused on building intelligent agents that combine reasoning, perception, and action. I work at the intersection of Generative AI, Agentic AI, and Computer Vision, creating systems that understand context, interact naturally, and make informed decisions in dynamic environments.
I bring broad hands-on experience from fast-paced start-ups, world-class industry R&D environments, and student engineering teams, where I built real AI frameworks and production-focused systems—not just prototypes.
With a deep foundation in Physics, Mathematics, and Machine Learning, I bring a holistic understanding of AI and engineering systems from theory to deployment, enabling the development of robust and well-reasoned solutions.
