Software Engineer - Full Stack (AI) @ Confidential

engineering is a series of puzzles. i just happen to enjoy all of them.

most of what i build sits between applied AI and full-stack web. i'm happiest when the parts nobody sees are as considered as the ones everyone does.

open to full-time / contract roles.
