I study how intelligence becomes an engineered system: from vectors and transformer mechanics to memory, tools, observability and deployment.

Explore the system

A systems thinker working where software engineering, artificial intelligence and scientific inquiry meet.

My path began with BASIC, DOS and x86 architectures, then moved through enterprise software, distributed systems and scientific radar applications before arriving at modern machine learning and agentic AI.

Today I design AI architectures, study compact language models and translate difficult mathematical ideas into practical engineering decisions. I also teach mathematics, physics, computing and artificial intelligence.
