philosophy = "The best systems are invisible to their users."- 🔭 Building production full-stack platforms end to end — schema, auth, REST API, front-end, and cloud deploy (healthcare patient-outcomes platform at Recovery Metrics)
- ⚡ Electrical engineer by training — comfortable all the way down to firmware and PCBs (Phisaver ESP32 IoT switchbox; contributed a firmware feature now running across the deployed fleet)
- 🤖 Growing ML/AI practice — PyTorch & computer vision, plus local LLM agents, a self-expanding knowledge graph, and pgvector search in my Stock Market Analyser
- 🧩 Happiest at the intersection of hardware, software, and ML/AI
