I am a full-stack software engineer especially interested in AI pipelines and blockchain solutions. I like building decentralized open-source software, scaling systems up, and shipping reliable applications. I have experience in developing smart contracts, APIs, and dashboards, as well as managing software engineering teams and working on large scale data projects. Outside of work, I am an avid drummer and recently published a rock album. I also enjoy reading history books, with a particular interest in political history.
