FROM ARCHITECTURE TO THE LAST MILESelected work, 2023—2026

01 / SELECTED WORK

Built with intention.
Shipped with ownership.

AI infrastructure, customer-facing products, and the work of turning a promising idea into something people can use.

ALSO AT ADA / 2026

Making knowledge useful to an AI agent.

Built answer compilation: turning help-center articles into concise, self-contained answers, with evaluation grounded in the original source. Currently rolling out in production.

02 / HOW I WORK

Close to the code.
Closer to the problem.

ENGINEER BY CRAFT. BUILDER BY NATURE.

I like the point where an ambiguous problem becomes a clear technical direction—and then a working product.

At Ada, I’ve grown from intern to senior engineer, building AI agent capabilities and leading projects from early architecture through delivery. I start hands-on, prove the approach, and bring others in as the work grows.

Before and alongside that, I co-founded Kabby and City OS. Building my own products taught me to think beyond the implementation: who needs this, what matters first, and what does it take to ship?

My interest in building started with robotics. Today, that same curiosity shows up in AI systems, full-stack products, and the tools that help teams move faster.

01

Set the direction. Turn a broad product problem into an architecture the team can build.

02

Build alongside the team. Own the implementation while helping others move the product forward.

03

Stay accountable after launch. Treat evaluation, observability, and reliability as part of the product.

03 / THE PATH SO FAR

Experience compounds.
