About

Structured inquiry.
Scalable impact.

I build AI that thinks, plans, and acts. Not just responds. My focus is Agentic AI and RAG systems powered by memory, tool-use, and multi-step reasoning.

I ship production-ready LLM applications on AWS, architected for speed, reliability, and enterprise scale. Blending research and engineering, I design AI agents you can trust, from real-time decision systems to voice-enabled assistants.

Recently graduated from Arizona State University with an MS in Data Science, focused on cloud-native AI systems and next-gen autonomous intelligence.
