About

I design and build systems grounded in first principles, with a passion for advancing AI and ML research and development. I share insights and projects on X under @Sentient_Radar, focusing on Python for Data Science and AI agent development. My background includes a degree in Electronic Engineering, a Master's in Information and Communication Technology, and specialized training in AI and ML. I’ve contributed to startups and served as an SRE in the financial sector, with hands-on experience in innovative projects, including my first ML hackathon.
