Focused on machine learning & high-performance systems across GPU-accelerated computing, low-latency execution, and distributed systems.
About
Building systems that are fast, efficient, and built to scale.
I build high performance systems with experience spanning machine learning and software engineering. My interests focus on GPU systems, low latency computing, and machine learning for scalable infrastructure.
I enjoy understanding how systems operate internally and building infrastructure that improves performance, efficiency, and scalability.
Outside of technology, I lead teams, stay driven through running and lifting, document the journey, and capture perspectives through photography.
