More about me

I'm not the smartest guy in the room, and honestly, I never want to be. That doesn't mean I don't push my self to the limit or care about top-tier performance. It's just how I view the world: humility, honesty and low-ego/high-trust environments, lay the perfect foundation to push anything from concept to production.

Don't confuse this mindset with a tolerance for incompetence. I expect to work alongside sharp, realiable people. However, genuine synergy is the non-negotiable key for me.

My friends tell me I have unconscius 'rituals' in every aspect of day-to-day life. What they really mean is that I'm deeply methodical about structure, clarity and execution.

If I don't believe in the goal, it's really hard for me to even get started. I have to care about what I'm building. That's why I will always choose to work with teams that genuinely believe in their mission and have real skin in the game.

For example: when I say I'd love to work at a place like SpaceX/XSI, it's not an empty flex. I actually believe in the need to unlock an interplanetary economy and eventually put data centers in orbit. Earth is going to feel small within a few decades. Pushing past the borders of our home isn't just cool engineering; it's a necessary step for us to progress as a species. My drive doesn't come from money or politics. I simply believe in the future of humanity.

I want to contribute to that future. Whether that means optimizing the underlying layers of an LLM inference engine, shaping the UX of a tool like Cursor/Grok, or building applied infrastructure across the full stack, I want to build things that move US forward. So yeah, that's what usually gets my blood pumping.

Outside of work, I still like making things. Just like most people in the industry, I simply love building from scratch.

Music is deeply ingrained in me. My dad is a DJ, so sound has always been the backdrop of my life. I've produced tracks, played the guitar, and just enough piano to sketch ideas out when producing.

Software, music and design are just different ways for the exact same goal: building things ❤️‍🔥
