From R&D to Real-World Application

I work across vision-language model research and the design and implementation of web applications

Web Development

I focus on frontend development with Figma, Next.js, and React, while also working full stack across Elysia APIs, authentication, databases, AI features built with Mastra and AI SDK, and monorepo operations.
