I’m a software and AI-focused engineer who enjoys building reliable systems, improving developer workflows, and turning real-world problems into working products. I’ve contributed to CI/CD and cloud-native development on OpenShift Pipelines, built tooling to automate post-upgrade health checks, and worked across Kubernetes and OpenShift environments. I also enjoy applying AI in practical ways—whether evaluating LLM outputs for scientific accuracy and depth, developing domain-specific prompts for model assessment, or training and refining AI capabilities through hands-on evaluation and iterative experimentation. Beyond engineering, I’ve shipped web applications and games, and I like collaborating with researchers and founders to move fast from prototype to MVP.
