Blockchain & AI Software Engineer

PhD Candidate

5+ Years of Software Engineering Experience

I love building blockchain applications and making the web more open for everyone. I’m fascinated by how AI is reshaping the world, and I enjoy experimenting with it and shaping it through my own code. Side projects are my weakness—once an idea hits, I can’t let it go.
