AI / Systems Engineer | Computational Neuroscience PhD

Engineering reliable models, algorithms, and research software for complex biological systems.

I combine 8+ years of ODE-based modeling, parameter estimation, sensitivity analysis, and scientific programming with practical software engineering. I am an AI / Systems Engineer at Vectonomous Labs and founder of Octidy, a Firebase-first Android app for fair household chore coordination.

About

Research depth, product-minded implementation.

I solve complex problems with algorithms and scientific software. I am strongest where mathematical rigor has to become software a team can understand, validate, and use.

My background spans computational neuroscience, biochemical pathway modeling, Android product engineering, and current applied AI systems work.

Technical excellence

Clean, efficient, well-structured code that remains understandable after the first result has shipped.

Interdisciplinary thinking

Biology, mathematics, and software engineering each shape how I frame and solve problems.

Open collaboration

I document decisions, share context, and build workflows that future contributors can pick up.

Selected work

Evidence across research software and product engineering.
