I design and build scalable digital systems at the intersection of software engineering, AI, cloud infrastructure, business, and human behavior.

With a formal background in Software Engineering and Software Architecture & Cloud Computing, I work across the full lifecycle of technology products — from system architecture and infrastructure to implementation, deployment, and product strategy.

I enjoy turning complex problems into resilient, high-performance systems that can operate in the real world.

I think in systems, not features.

• 🏗️ Scalable & Distributed Systems — architectures designed for reliability, performance, and growth
• 🤖 AI Systems & Agents — LLM-powered applications, AI workflows, MCP-based systems, and intelligent automation
• ☁️ Cloud-Native Infrastructure — AWS, containers, Kubernetes, CI/CD, and production systems
• ⚙️ Full-Stack Products — from architecture and backend systems to web and mobile experiences
• 🔄 Automation & Operational Systems — connecting software, data, and real-world processes
• 🧬 Digital Twins & Simulation — systems that model complex real-world processes
• 🚀 0 → 1 Product Development — turning ideas and business problems into working products

My focus is not only making software work, but designing systems that are maintainable, observable, adaptable, and built to evolve.

I've worked across multiple technology initiatives involving:

• 🤖 AI-powered services and automation
• 🧠 Digital health and mental-health technology
• 📡 Real-time communication systems
• 📦 Logistics and inventory verification
• 🚗 Mobility and operational platforms
• 💳 Financial and wallet-like digital tools
• 🛍️ E-commerce and business platforms

My approach combines engineering, architecture, product thinking, and business strategy to move from problem → system → product.

AI-powered digital health platform

Co-founded and currently leading engineering for an AI-powered mental-health platform.

• Cloud-native architecture using Go, TypeScript, NuxtJS, PostgreSQL and Redis
• AI workflows and contextual data infrastructure
• Hybrid web/mobile component architecture
• Production-oriented reliability and performance engineering

Digital Twin · AI Agents · Real-Time Simulation

Hackathon project selected as a finalist.

Built a real-time cardiac digital twin combining a deterministic physiological simulation engine with multi-agent AI to simulate and compare intervention outcomes.

Technologies included Python/FastAPI, Next.js, React, Claude, WebSockets and SSE.

The architecture separates the AI decision-making layer from the deterministic physiological simulation, allowing AI agents to reason about interventions while the simulation independently models their effects.

Unitree R1 · NVIDIA IsaacLab · IsaacSim

Independent research project focused on training and experimenting with a Unitree R1 humanoid robot in a simulated Linux environment using NVIDIA's robotics simulation ecosystem.

Exploring the intersection of:

AI + robotics + simulation + control systems

Full-Stack Product · E-Commerce · Business Automation

Built a full-stack showroom and e-commerce platform for an architectural firm, redesigning the digital customer acquisition workflow and reducing lead-capture time from days to same-day processing.

I care about the relationship between architecture and behavior.

Good systems should:

      │  Measure → Adapt →  │
      │       Evolve        │
      └─────────────────────┘

I am particularly interested in complex systems, AI, distributed computing, software architecture, robotics, simulation, and the relationship between technology and human behavior.

• Large Language Models & AI Agents
• MCP (Model Context Protocol)
• AI-powered automation
• Digital Twins
• Real-time simulation
• Robotics & simulation environments
• Distributed systems
• Cloud-native architectures

Outside engineering, I perform as a Techno DJ under the name Karma.

Music and software share something I find fascinating:

timing · structure · flow · feedback · experience

That perspective influences how I think about systems — not as isolated components, but as dynamic structures whose behavior emerges from how their parts interact.
