He combines hands-on systems work—from Arduino and Raspberry Pi hobby projects to production full-stack features and ML services—with a background in ASP.NET, AngularJS, Python and cloud/devops tools. At Innatera he focuses on spiking neural network research and previously built concept search, PII extraction and ML pipelines in enterprise e-discovery and analytics contexts. A self-taught game design and anime/manga artist enthusiast, he brings a creative, experimental approach to engineering and is planning independent research in game development. Comfortable switching languages and platforms quickly, he enjoys exploring cosmology and foreign languages (Japanese) alongside competitive coding. His public repos reflect a pragmatic DIY ethos—“It ain't much but it's honest work”—mixing prototypes, tooling and practical demos.
