About

I'm passionate about pushing the boundaries of entertainment using Generative AI. At Morphic, I'm diving deep into diffusion models and LLMs while building scalable systems that bring these technologies to life. My journey through Uber's distributed systems and Polygon's blockchain protocols has given me a unique edge in deploying AI that actually works in production. I love combining bleeding-edge tech with rock-solid engineering to create experiences that feel like magic.
