Forward Deployed Engineer · San Jose, CA
I build and ship AI systems where delivery is urgent, ambiguity is the default, and model performance matters. 4+ years owning end-to-end execution of high-stakes AI deployments — from discovery through production. Founding engineer (2x), open-source contributor impacting 1.2M+ users, and Anthropic security researcher (CVE).
I embed directly with customers and ship production AI systems fast. My work sits at the intersection of engineering, product, and customer delivery — scoping work, sequencing delivery, removing blockers, and getting things live.
