About
I'm a software engineer with 8+ years across data engineering, cloud infrastructure, and — most recently — production AI/LLM systems. I spent three years as founder and CTO of a B2B energy-trading SaaS platform, solo from architecture through funding and pilot rollout, and grew the engineering team from one to ten. Before and alongside that, I've built RAG pipelines and agentic tools, high-availability cloud infrastructure, and data pipelines processing millions of records. I hold a Master's in Mathematics and I'm currently completing an Executive MBA and an LLM/agent engineering course.
