He currently leads Inference Labs and CENG Technologies, applying a pragmatic founder’s mindset to applied AI tooling (notably describing his GitHub work as "building deAI"). His track record includes research roles and teaching at McMaster, an early owner-operator software venture, and leading competitive robotics teams, showing a rare blend of academic rigor and scrappy execution. Colleagues describe him as a builder who moves fluidly between low-level electronics and cloud-enabled software to deliver integrated, product-focused solutions.
