about01

I'm an electrical engineer who spent years designing and running power systems for live events, work that taught me to think in systems, reason about failure modes, and ship reliable results under real-world pressure. That same instinct now drives my transition into machine learning and artificial intelligence.

I recently completed a MSc in Artificial Intelligence at Yeshiva University's Katz School (GPA 3.83). I also hold a BSc in Electrical and Electronics Engineering which I graduated from Cyprus International University as the class valedictorian .

Outside of engineering I'm a New York Road Runners member chasing race-day PRs, and a RPAS drone pilot because the best way to understand a system is to fly it yourself.
