What I do
Three things, mostly, and they keep turning out to be the same problem from different angles.
Model efficiency
Optimizing AI models so they run more efficiently: quantum-inspired methods, quantization and knowledge distillation, down to models that fit on a laptop CPU.
- Distillation
- Quantization
- LoRA
- PyTorch
Production engineering
The unglamorous half: layered backends, CI/CD, secret management and cloud deployments that survive contact with real users.

- Docker
- GCP
- AWS

Things I built and wrote about
Ask My Site
Aug 2026The AI assistant on this very site (bottom-right corner). A small FastAPI backend that answers visitor questions about me directly, grounded in my own CV and background instead of guessing.
- Python
- FastAPI
- Claude API
KD Boundaries
Jul 2026A visual knowledge-distillation lab: trains a teacher and a student (with and without distillation) on 2D datasets and compares their decision boundaries, showing what the student actually learns from the teacher beyond accuracy.
- Python
- PyTorch
- Knowledge Distillation
LLM Router
Jul 2026Decomposes a prompt into subtasks with a single planning call to Claude, routes each one to the cheapest model capable of handling it (Haiku/Sonnet/Opus), and runs the independent ones in parallel.
- Python
- Claude API
- asyncio
About
I'm an AI Engineer with a strong command of software development and extensive experience designing and implementing agentic systems: autonomous workflows that leverage AI and advanced reasoning to solve complex business challenges.
I also have deep technical knowledge of LLM architectures, particularly around efficiency, and I'm skilled at optimizing AI models so they run faster and lighter without giving up quality.
