About

Engineer. Builder. Tinkerer.

I build things that work at scale — from payment rails crossing 140+ currencies to AI systems handling millions of daily interactions.

I'm a software engineer at Amazon working on Alexa Devices. Before that, I was a founding engineer at Jeeves (fintech unicorn) where I built payment infrastructure across 25+ countries, and led AI initiatives at HighLevel that automated 3M+ customer engagements daily.

Outside work, I'm a fiction reader, audiophile, and AI tinkerer — exploring what open-source models can do when paired with the right harness.
