I build production-oriented AI systems across LLM/NLP, real-time voice, computer vision, and Python backend infrastructure.
My engineering approach is to use AI where probabilistic understanding is valuable, while keeping orchestration, validation, state, and side effects explicit and reliable. My work sits at the intersection of applied AI, software engineering, and experimental research.
Real-time conversational ordering system combining Twilio Media Streams, Deepgram STT/TTS, custom NLU, Redis-backed sessions, and deterministic state-machine orchestration.

Reproducible classical computer-vision pipeline for recovering degraded DataMatrix symbols with explicit inference rejection and deterministic synthetic evaluation.
- Exact decode improved from 28/35 to 33/35 on the committed synthetic benchmark
- Grid shape was exact for 34/34 accepted cases
