I'm a founding engineer building AI systems for governments and Fortune 500 enterprises. I specialize in machine learning surrogate models, distributed systems, and high-performance computing applications across aerospace, semiconductor, and automotive industries.
Currently at UniversalAGI where I'm building AI agents for government officials and training ML models that simulate race cars, submarines, drones, planes, and more. Before this, I worked at Palantir on AI Platform Research and AWS on observability infrastructure.
I've founded multiple startups including Hash Automation (crypto automation with $220k+ volume and $60k+ revenue) and Acre Communications (B2B VPN service with $80k revenue) and have built systems serving thousands of users.
I graduated from the University of Maryland with a B.S. in Computer Science & Statistics, and previously conducted research at Johns Hopkins on wearable sensor systems.
