Building AI-powered solutions that scale.
The Story
I'm a Senior Software Engineer who transitioned from medical radiography to computer science — a pivot that gave me a unique lens for building technology that serves real human needs.
With 7+ years across healthcare, media, recruitment, and legal tech, I've led teams, architected AI-driven platforms, and helped startups secure millions in funding. My work at SingleFile helped secure a $9M Series A and SOC-2 compliance. At Array, I connected 23,000+ film crew members to studios like Netflix and Universal — contributing to 60+ Emmy nominations.
I'm also actively working inside the codebases of PyTorch, HuggingFace's LeRobot, and Git— three pillars of modern software infrastructure, with contributions underway. Beyond code, I'm a TEDx speaker, an IEEE member, and NVIDIA Deep Learning certified. When I'm not engineering, I'm studying chess strategy or behind a camera lens.

Contributing to the Ecosystem
Currently deep in the codebases of three foundational open source projects — forked, building locally, and preparing contributions. These are the tools that millions of engineers depend on daily, and I'm working to make them better.
PyTorch
pytorch/pytorch · 85K+ stars
Forked and actively working within the core ML framework used by millions of researchers worldwide. Navigating the internals of one of the largest Python/C++ codebases in open source, with pull requests in progress.
LeRobot
huggingface/lerobot · 8K+ stars
Building locally against HuggingFace's robotics platform — the library democratizing embodied AI and real-world robot learning. Working on contributions to the ecosystem that's shaping how machines learn to interact with the physical world.
Git
git/git · 53K+ stars
Digging into the C codebase behind the version control system used by virtually every developer on earth. Forked and studying the internals — preparing contributions to the infrastructure that underpins all of modern software.
