Co-founder & CTO
Engineering leadership across data, platform, and applied AI. Focused on the layer most AI work skips: making a deployed system dependable, observable, and affordable enough to keep.
A software engineer by training and by temperament, working the part of the problem that decides whether a system survives contact with production — the data path, the platform underneath it, and the instrumentation that tells you the truth about both. Most AI work treats that as someone else's job afterwards. He treats it as the design.
Continues to work at the research edge of robotics and machine learning, which keeps the architecture decisions honest: what is actually ready to deploy, what is a paper, and what will cost more to operate than it returns.
