PROFILE
I create anything I set my mind to, pushing the boundaries of what tech and I are capable of. From photorealistic Unreal Engine games shipping to the masses, deep reinforcement learning agents that outperform research baselines, collaborative robots engineered from sketch to captivating spectacles at major international industry events, production mobile apps, and bulletproof full-stack backends that scale without breaking. 2+ years of turning client dreams into deployed reality — consistently delivering ahead of schedule and results that make stakeholders say “holy sh*t, this is way better than we asked for.”
