About
Career & Background
I'm a Senior Software Engineer focused on applied AI and distributed systems. At TikTok I build complex, large-scale agentic platforms that serve over 100M requests a day. Before that I was the founding engineer at namshi.com, scaling it to $5M/day in GMV. Outside work, I'm a hobbyist photographer chasing the best landscapes and architectures, and a relentless foodie hunting down the best meal in every city I land in.
