Software Engineer

I build performance-minded software in Rust and C++, and machine-learning work in Python-from low-level systems and native tooling to models, data pipelines, and experiments. I care about correctness, measurable performance, and code that stays maintainable as problems grow.

About

I'm a software engineer who spends most of my time in Rust and C++ for systems and native projects, and in Python for machine learning-models, data pipelines, and experiment workflows. I gravitate toward work where correctness and performance both matter.

With 1+ years of professional experience, I've worked in product teams and internships where shipping on a deadline met careful engineering. That mix pushes me to learn quickly, communicate clearly, and deliver software that holds up outside the demo.

I believe in code that is correct first, then fast-abstractions that earn their place, tests where they buy real confidence, and tools that fit the problem rather than the hype. Outside of work I stay interested in mechanical systems and hands-on precision work, which shapes how I think about structure, tolerances, and reliability.

Ventures

Alongside my core engineering work, I pursue side projects and experiments-tooling, automation, and ideas worth prototyping. Each one is practice in scoping, feedback, and shipping something others can actually use.
