I build retrieval systems and LLM agents that hold up outside a notebook.

Right now I'm a research assistant at UIU, working on autonomous agents and reading a lot about mechanistic interpretability. Before that I was a junior engineer at AskTuring.ai, building the evaluation and retrieval behind a production RAG system.

About

I'm a data science student at UIU and an ML engineer. My last role was junior engineer at AskTuring.ai, where I owned the evaluation service and built Deepen Answer, a RAG pipeline that pairs extended-thinking models with an agent that fills its own knowledge gaps.

I tend to learn things by rebuilding them. An autograd engine in NumPy. A memory layer for agents that cut context cost by 22× without dropping accuracy. A research agent that plans, searches, and cites its sources. Lately I keep drifting toward interpretability, trying to work out what these models are actually doing inside.

Next I want a PhD in Europe, and after that a lab working on the frontier.
