Experiments & AI Work
Beyond product work, I tinker daily with the tools shaping what's next — where agents handle the logic, and every pixel still matters.

About
I began in engineering — learning how systems are built, how they scale, how they hold. But somewhere along the way, I started asking different questions. Not just how does it work? — but how does it feel?
That question changed everything. Six years across enterprise and startup environments taught me to balance scale with speed, structure with ownership. I've designed across fintech, telecom, and education — always with the same belief: outcomes over outputs.
Now, I'm evolving again — designing agentic workflows and AI-powered automation, where agents handle the logic and every pixel still matters. Engineering taught me systems. Design taught me empathy. AI is teaching me orchestration.
