Data. Builder. Thinker. Writer. Human first, always.
I’m someone who sees life through both the lens of logic and the heart of reflection. I build systems and write stories. I work with data and think deeply about growth. I believe in clarity, not just in code, but in life.
My journey has been anything but linear, from geospatial data to open-source ecosystems, from leading teams to launching ideas. I’ve come to see that the real magic happens where technology meets humanity.
Today, my work is centered around data engineering and platform-level problems, particularly those involving messy, real-world data: addresses, places, customer records, behavioral signals, and fragmented identifiers. I am intentionally working close to the infrastructure layer, where issues of data quality, entity resolution, and provenance are unavoidable.
Rather than focusing on dashboards or surface-level analytics, I am focusing on the systems that determine what the data actually represents. I care about how entities are formed, merged, split, and understood over time, and how confident the system should be in those representations. This perspective naturally leads me to spatial data, customer 360 pipelines, identity stitching, and trust-related problems that most teams struggle with but rarely name explicitly.
Alongside my professional work, I am studying and experimenting with ideas from entity resolution theory, spatial identity, probabilistic reasoning, and high-dimensional representations. This is not abstract research for its own sake; it’s a way to build better mental models for how real systems should work under uncertainty.
If my hypothesis is valid, AI systems in 3-5 years will:
- know what entity they are acting on
- know why they believe that
- know how confident they are
- refuse to act when confidence is insufficient
- leave audit trails humans can inspect
That’s not AGI.
That’s responsible autonomy.
This space is where all those threads come together,life, tech, and meaning. If you’re into data, open-source, purpose-driven innovation, or simply becoming the best version of yourself, you’re in the right place.

Outside of data, I have a profound love for nature and photography. My goal is to visit 15 countries in the next three years,I’ve already explored three, with 12 more to go. Capturing the world’s beauty through the lens of my FujiFilm xT20 brings me immense joy, and I’m eagerly looking forward to upgrading to the xT30. Follow along for my travel adventures and the stunning moments I’ll be sharing.
