Beyond the Resume
A philosophy on technology, innovation, and the human side of engineering
Technology is neither inherently good nor badβit's a tool that amplifies human intent. I'm excited by what we can build, yet mindful of the responsibility that comes with it. My work spans from decoding aviation transmissions in the sky to orchestrating AI agents on the ground, always driven by curiosity and a desire to make complex systems accessible.

Work With Me
Whether you need a full-time leader, strategic guidance, or help with a passion projectβlet's build something remarkable together
What Makes Me Different
I don't just write codeβI architect systems that scale, mentor teams that thrive, and tackle problems others find too complex or niche. From decoding aviation signals at 30,000 feet to orchestrating AI agents, I bring deep technical expertise paired with a pragmatic, ship-it mentality.
