An engineer who cares about the details.
“I build across the stack — product, AI, and infra — with a bias for craft, taste, and shipped work.”
Started in CS wanting to build things people would actually use. Fell for the parts of the stack most engineers ignore — schemas, latency budgets, and the tiny details that make software feel good.
Final-year Computer Engineering student turning internships, competitions, and independent projects into shipped, production-grade software across full-stack and AI.
Doing the highest-craft work of my life with teams that care about the same things.
