About

Where technical excellence meets performance mindset

An engineer at heart, I've been building software since I was 12. A path that led me from computer science via mechanical engineering to advanced AI research and cutting-edge, production-ready software architecture.

I founded clir.ai, an AI startup for the hearing-impaired, patented distributed AI technology, led high-impact collaborations with startups and corporations, and was included in Forbes 30 Under 30. Today, I help high-growth companies architect production-grade AI systems that scale at the highest levels of quality.

My work blends deep technical expertise, sharp business thinking, and a high-performance mindset both behind the screen and far beyond it.

Interdisciplinary Engineering & Economics background
Deep experience in AI research & deployment
Founder and hands-on systems architect
Trusted advisor to fast-moving companies

Beyond the Screen

A firm believer in the philosophy of Misogi, through deliberate challenges of great physical intensity. I've completed multiple Ironman races (including two in one week and a world championship), run ultramarathons, and regularly push my limits both mentally and physically.
