About

Technical depth with product and communication instincts.

I enjoy bridging engineering execution with real user needs. My background spans software engineering, internal platform work, support workflows, and applied AI experimentation.

Build

I build practical systems, tools, and prototypes that solve real workflow problems.

Translate

I’m comfortable working between technical implementation and business or client needs.

Refine

I like polishing systems, clarifying ambiguity, and making software more useful and elegant.

Selected Projects

A few things I’ve built.

These are the kinds of projects I want this site to highlight first: technical, practical, and clearly tied to user or business value.

AI Support Engineer Copilot

Built a beginner-friendly support copilot that lets users upload troubleshooting PDFs or link docs, paste logs or API errors, and get grounded root-cause explanations, next debugging steps, customer-ready replies, and visible source evidence.
