About
I bridge the gap between machine learning research and production systems. At UHCL, I mentor students in Python and data science while working on AI-powered applications and scalable backend systems.
With 6+ years of professional experience spanning EY, Mantra Technologies, and the academic space, I've built everything from enterprise-grade Spring Boot APIs to low-code platforms and ML-powered tools.
I focus on building simple, fast, and maintainable systems — designed for actual usage, not just clean implementations.
Based in Houston, TX.
