About · Calgary, Canada

A short bio.

I'm an applied AI/ML engineer turned architect. I've spent the last several years shipping intelligent software — from classical ML pipelines to retrieval, agents, and fine-tuned open-weights models. Along the way I wrote Machine Learning to Gen AI Agents, a field guide for people who'd rather build than slide-deck.

Today I prototype the tools the book describes — chief among them Avarna Privacy Gateway, a POC for keeping AI workloads private by default. None of these are companies yet; all of them are working proofs.
