Engineering philosophy

I like building from the problem backwards.

I enjoy finding inefficient processes, understanding how they should work, and building the solution myself — from idea to architecture to development to testing to a working product, choosing whatever technologies best fit the problem.

01Find the frictionLocate the repetitive, manual step everyone has accepted as normal.

02Understand the workflowMap how it should work before writing a line of code.

03Design the systemChoose the simplest architecture that can survive production.

04Automate the repetitive partsRemove human effort where machines are strictly better.

05Ship and iteratePut it in real hands, watch it break, make it robust.

Current direction

Exploring what's next.

I already build software. Now I'm going deeper into AI — particularly in how LLMs, coding agents and AI-native development workflows are changing the way software is designed, built and shipped.

Experience

Sep 2026 — Present

Current

Associate Consultant — EY

Build production-grade software, automation and AI-powered solutions to turn complex, manual enterprise workflows into scalable technology products.
Own solutions end-to-end, from problem definition and architecture through development, testing and deployment.
Apply AI, LLMs, AI agents and AI-assisted development workflows to rapidly prototype and build technology solutions.

Jul 2025 — Sep 2026

Senior Analyst — EY

Built software and automation solutions across cybersecurity and data privacy, translating complex business requirements into production-ready technology.
Built an automated privacy testing platform that reduced a traditionally ~16-hour workflow to under 2 minutes, covering network-log analysis, personal-data discovery, RoPA validation and assessment reporting.
Built a cookie compliance and consent management platform using Python, FastAPI and Playwright, covering authenticated crawling, cookie/tracker discovery, compliance analysis, reporting and consent validation.
Automated network traffic capture, HAR generation, parameter extraction and compliance validation, eliminating repetitive manual collection and analysis.

About

A little about how I work.

I build AI-powered products and automation that turn complex, manual problems into scalable solutions.

My work sits at the intersection of AI, software engineering, automation and complex enterprise workflows — and what I enjoy most is finding an inefficient process, figuring out how it should work, and building the solution myself.

I tend to work across the stack depending on the problem, moving between backend systems, browser automation, APIs and data workflows.

I learn quickly by building, experimenting and shipping.
