› HELLO
I build systems — distributed backends, ML pipelines, the quiet machinery that keeps products honest. By day I run AI at Applause Lab; by night I move pieces of paper between my fingers and call it cardistry.
My favourite work sits at the seams: where research meets production, where a model becomes a service, where a flourish becomes a habit. I like small teams, tight feedback loops, and problems that resist the first three solutions.
