About Me

I'm a software engineer with 5+ years of experience building enterprise-grade .NET & Angular systems for Fortune 500 logistics and finance clients — owning everything from UI to database to API, end-to-end.

Now I'm channelling that full-stack foundation into AI-first engineering: multi-modal LLM agents, semantic retrieval pipelines with FAISS, ML training platforms, and open-source tooling that ships into real production codebases.

Currently a Graduate Teaching Assistant at Western Kentucky University, teaching Python labs and mentoring undergrads — because the best way to master something is to explain it clearly to someone else.
