ai/ml engineer researching and building
agentic systems for the future.
i’m an AI/ML Engineer at Ema, where i research and build the AutoBuilder/AutoPilot, our agent harness. my focus is on agent orchestration, autolearns, and evals.
i recently completed my Master of Science in Applied Computing at the University of Toronto, focusing on computer systems and large language models. previously i worked as a backend software developer at Kijiji, and as both a research and teaching assistant at U of T.
i’m drawn to the frontier: designing agentic systems that are reliable today and ready for what comes next, as models grow more capable and the work we hand them grows more ambitious.
outside of work i sing, play piano, play guitar, and lose to my friends at video games. i also love making and eating food. my recipes are where the home-cooked ones live.
notes, field observations, and half‑formed ideas, published as they’re ready.

why i use emdash
on running multiple coding agents in parallel without losing your mind in terminal tabs. local-first, open-source, provider-agnostic, and surprisingly, the product is just organization.
more notes in the works. i’m slow but sincere. things land here only when i believe them.
