About

Curious, driven, and deeply passionate about building intelligent systems that create real-world impact. With a strong foundation in computer science and several years of experience in the tech industry, I specialize in designing and deploying AI and Generative AI solutions, particularly in the areas of Natural Language Processing, Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG), and multi-agent systems. Currently leading GenAI initiatives at XponentL, I design scalable, production-ready AI architectures that bridge structured and unstructured data. Outside of work, I’m usually reading, talking about science, or playing tennis; trying to keep my brain sharp and my serve sharper.
