Understand it.Build it.Make it useful.

I'm an AI engineer who starts with the business problem, then works through the data, model, and software needed to solve it. My path through mechanical engineering, factory operations, and software development led me to a Silver Medal in Super AI Engineer Season 6.

Super AI Engineer Season 6 · 03 September 2026

I start with the problem.
The model comes later.

Silver Medal / Super AI Engineer Season 6

I did not arrive in AI through a straight path. Mechanical engineering taught me how real operations behave. Software taught me how to turn a process into a working system. Super AI helped me bring data and models into that work.

I progressed through online foundations, on-site training, and a workplace apprenticeship, then completed the program with a Silver Medal. What matters to me is understanding the business, questioning the data, and building a solution people can trust and use.
