01 · About

I build things that actually work.

Most AI projects are demos. I'm more interested in the unglamorous middle — the tool calls that have to retry, the retrieval that has to be evaluated, the agent graphs that have to fail gracefully.

My path here was not a straight line. A Master's in Mechanical Engineering. A year designing components in CAD. Six months in equity and derivatives markets, learning to make decisions under uncertainty. And then in 2024, the realization that what I actually wanted to build was AI.

So I taught myself to code from scratch — and started shipping.

02 · Career Journey

From CAD drawings to agent graphs.

Not a linear story — and that's the point. Each chapter taught a different muscle: precision, decision-making under uncertainty, and the discipline to ship.

    Equity, Derivative & Commodities Trader

    Freelance

    Three years in live markets — equities, derivatives, commodities. Built strategies, hedged risk in real time, learned to make decisions when the signal is bad and the cost is real. The single best preparation for shipping AI agents in production.
