AI software engineer · Applied AI researcher

I build AI systems that make it out of the notebook.

From pathology pipelines and aerial grounding to GPU-backed ML infrastructure and full-stack tools, I turn research-heavy problems into fast, reliable software people can actually use.

Selected organizations & deployments

Experience spanning applied research, public-sector education, and ML infrastructure, including product engineering inside a Y Combinator-backed company.

Research

Research shaped by real deployment constraints.

My research sits at the intersection of multimodal understanding and efficient generative modeling. I study how models can reason across language and visual data while improving inference efficiency and task performance.

01 / Active directionIn progress

Efficient generative modeling

Diffusion-based language models.

Actively researching the speed–quality trade-off in iterative language generation. The goal is to reduce sampling cost and latency while preserving—or improving—task performance.
02 / Multimodal perceptionUAV vision

UAV visual grounding

Language-guided target localization.

Worked on grounding tasks in UAV imagery, connecting natural-language descriptions to spatial predictions in complex aerial scenes.
