Building reliable AI systems and scalable software.

I build AI systems as software systems: reliable, scalable, and designed to hold up under real use.

I study Data Science at San Jose State University, where my work centers on AI systems, infrastructure, and the design of software that remains reliable as complexity grows.

I care about the difficult layer between model capability and dependable product behavior.

Notes

How I think about AI systems

Good AI systems are not just model wrappers. They need evaluation, observability, strong interfaces, and software that stays useful when the environment gets messy.

What I want to build

I am most interested in agentic software, voice interfaces, evaluation tooling, domain-specific assistants, and systems where AI changes how people reason or operate.

Current focus

Right now, I am focused on AI systems infrastructure, practical LLM products, real-time interaction, and the engineering required to make intelligent software dependable.

Elsewhere

I am also exploring startups, product ideas, and founder-minded AI applications, especially where strong engineering can create leverage far beyond the model alone.
