I work at the intersection of data, cloud, and systems — 6+ years building large-scale pipelines, optimizing performance, and automating the boring parts away. Currently pushing into LLMs, distributed AI, and product-based engineering.

I keep what I build in the open. This site runs serverless on AWS for about $0.52/month. Projects here run in your browser — no servers required.

"Good systems are boring. That's how you know they work."
