What you just watched

My name, written as a function on the sphere and rebuilt from its spherical-harmonic expansion as you scrolled: 8,281 coefficients, added degree by degree. The shimmer around the letters is Gibbs ringing, the same artifact you get when any Fourier series is truncated at a sharp edge.

Computed live in the browser, nothing prerendered.

Focus

Infrastructure

Cloud architecture, deployment pipelines, and the unglamorous reliability work that keeps systems fast and cheap to run.

AI systems

LLM-backed products, agent pipelines, and evaluation. AI that behaves in production, not just in the demo.

Cybersecurity

Hardening, threat modeling, and security reviews for teams that would rather find the hole before someone else does.

Working with me

Physics background, engineering practice: I take problems apart until the failure modes are visible, then build the smallest system that solves them, verified at every layer, like the animation above.
