I'm a Principal Engineer and AI Architect with over 10 years of experience building intelligent systems that scale. My journey in tech has been driven by a passion for solving complex problems at the intersection of artificial intelligence, distributed systems, and cloud architecture.

Currently, I lead the engineering efforts at Symbl.ai, where I architect conversation intelligence platforms that process millions of interactions daily. My work involves everything from designing RAG-based AI systems to optimizing infrastructure for maximum performance and cost-efficiency.

What drives me is the challenge of turning cutting-edge AI research into production-ready systems that deliver real value. Whether it's building microservices that handle massive scale or crafting AI solutions that understand human conversation, I thrive on pushing the boundaries of what's possible.
