ML Engineer. Researcher. Verse Writer.

I specialize in machine learning engineering and research, with a focus on making ML systems more efficient and accessible. When I'm not coding or researching, I write verses that explore musings and philosophy, and host podcasts discussing technology and its philosophical implications.
