I build production machine learning systems with a focus on LLM pipelines, retrieval architectures, and data infrastructure. My work centers on turning messy, high-volume text into structured, versioned datasets and evaluation-ready features. I’ve shipped cross-product data models at Atlassian and built end-to-end LLM extraction platforms at UCSD. I’m interested in the systems layer of AI — where data, models, and infrastructure meet.
