Applied AI Engineer

Engineering Intelligence.

Building intelligent systems at the intersection of AI, engineering, and real-world optimization.

About

The intersection of physical and digital

My background in mechanical engineering gives me something most AI engineers lack: a deep instinct for how the physical world behaves. When I design neural networks for topology optimization, I understand the material constraints. When I build defect detection pipelines, I know what matters on the factory floor.

I engineer intelligent systems for industrial application, generative optimization, and predictive architecture — bridging theoretical research and real-world deployment. With experience at Amazon and credentials from Stanford, Michigan, and Harvard, I bring both rigor and craft to every problem.

"The future of engineering lies not just in constructing the physical world, but in embedding intelligence within it."
