Engineer driven by creativity and ethics, building experiences that reach millions

My work blends coding, AI, and strategic thinking to empower teams, improve workflows, and create impactful technology for real users.

About

I'm a software engineer who believes the best technology balances innovation with responsibility. At Infinity Ward, I design real time AI systems for Call of Duty, building experiences that reach over 100 million players while staying grounded in thoughtful, ethical design.

My work spans scalable backend systems, applied machine learning, and strategic problem solving. I've built recommendation engines, full stack analytics platforms, and ETL pipelines across AAA gaming, startups, and analytics. I work with Python, C++, Java, SQL, TensorFlow, PyTorch, and Next.js, but I care as much about the why behind a system as the how.

Beyond production systems, I love exploring AI's creative potential, from generative album art to lyric generation models. I'm driven by the belief that technology should empower people, not replace them, and I bring that mindset to every project I touch.
