About
I'm a developer who blends AI engineering with product sense and a love for cultural storytelling. I've led cross‑functional teams and I'm currently focused on agentic AI, Edtech, E-Commerce, and Fintech.
I am a world explorer, and often connect research on contemporary culture to emerging‑market dynamics. When I'm not building, catch me in exploring the city, art, or museums!
