Backend engineer with 5+ years in Ruby on Rails, leading a team at JetRockets. These days I spend most of my time at the intersection of Rails and LLMs: RAG pipelines, vector search, AI agents, and conversational memory systems. Off the clock I tinker with compilers, mini-frameworks, and the occasional card game.
