Building AI systems that drive real business impact.
I'm an AI Engineer designing and shipping AI prototypes on Azure that connect Databricks data pipelines with Salesforce to automate B2B sales workflows. Since 2021 I've combined deep Salesforce platform knowledge with applied ML engineering to deliver end-to-end solutions, from data pipeline to user-facing product.
