Note

I'm a software engineer who builds AI agents and autonomous systems for startups and businesses. I specialize in multi-agent orchestration, RAG pipelines, and MCP servers, with production AI experience across fintech automation, operations tooling, and agentic product design.

I'm currently obsessed with automating my work with AI. The tools have gotten insanely good - and most people haven't caught up yet.
