AI/ML, GenAI, developer tools, and open source — built one useful contribution at a time.
I work across AI applications and developer tooling — exploring how systems behave, how they fail, and how small engineering changes make them more reliable.
My interests sit at the intersection of intelligent software and the infrastructure around it: model integrations, developer workflows, observability, testing, and the details that make software dependable.
I prefer learning a codebase by tracing the behavior, reading the tests, and understanding the constraints before changing it. That approach shapes both my independent projects and my contributions to existing open-source tools.

This is a map of the areas I work in, not a claim of equal depth across every tool.
- Understand before changing. Read the surrounding code and tests before proposing a fix.
- Prefer evidence over theater. Reproducible behavior matters more than impressive labels.
- Keep the surface small. Focused changes are easier to review, test, and maintain.
- Build in the open. Useful software improves through clear documentation and thoughtful review.
