Platform & AI Engineer · Developer Tools · AI & Automation
"Ut prosim" — that I may serve.
I build tools that eliminate toil, connect systems, and give people leverage — from enterprise integrations and developer tooling to AI agents, automation, and whatever interesting problem happens to catch my attention.
Systems engineering across enterprise platforms, developer productivity, cloud infrastructure, and integrations at Netflix, Coinbase and Blackboard. These days I spend a lot more time building: some projects solve practical problems, others are experiments, games, or research rabbit holes. They all reflect the same instinct — understand how a system works, find what's painful, and build something better.
