Summary

Who I Am

AI Engineer with a Master's in Software Engineering (AI Specialization) from WGU and 8+ years of systems engineering experience. I build scalable AI systems that integrate voice intelligence, IoT orchestration, and enterprise architecture.

What I Do

I architect scalable AI platforms using PyTorch, FastAPI, and Docker. My flagship project, NeMo AI Ecosystem (12K+ lines Python), integrates AR glasses, smart home devices, and enterprise AI (NeMo ASR, Gemma LLM, RAG) into a unified voice-controlled system.

What I Bring

I combine AI/ML engineering with DevOps expertise, security-first design, and product development skills. My telecom background provides lean systems thinking and precision engineering that translates into robust, scalable software.

Flagship Project: NeMo AI Ecosystem
