About Me

I've been writing software for over a decade. The tools and problems change but I keep coming back to the same philosophy: building robust, performant systems that solve real problems. I care about clean architecture, scalable infrastructure, craftsmanship, and engineering velocity.

I keep a running list of project ideas and deep technical rabbit holes I want to explore. From tiny weekend projects that eventually grow into something more, to designing cryptography methods that led to a patent. I can't stop adding to the list.

What I'm doing now

I'm a tech lead at Vana . We're working on user-owned data: your data should be yours, and you should benefit when AI trains on it. We launched the first Data DAO and hit 100,000 users in a weekend, which immediately stress-tested our backend infrastructure. Then we built the decentralized Vana L1 network around it.

What I've done in the past

Before Vana, I was tech lead on ApplyBoard's AI team, where I built an MLOps pipeline from scratch using Terraform and SageMaker to ship Python models like real software.

Before that, I spent a few years consulting at AppCentrica . Led their Java and AWS practices, shipped products for startups and enterprises.

I started at IBM on the WebSphere Application Server team. Studied engineering at University of Toronto.
