ML Engineering Background

5+ years of machine learning engineering across 20+ startups — from NLP pipelines and fine-tuned LLMs to production agent systems. At Zenlaw I built the legal NLP infrastructure from scratch. As a Google Summer of Code alumnus with TensorFlow, I bridge research and production reality.

When I'm not shipping AI systems, I produce music and play guitar — blending experimental sounds across multiple projects. Creativity in engineering and music share the same foundation: pattern recognition and the courage to break patterns.

Sound

Currently making experimental / IDM music as us. One take of who I am right now — story, breath, a hand reaching in the dark.
