built because i needed them to exist

i'm a software engineer who likes systems that reason — retrieval-augmented pipelines, vector stores, and the small unglamorous infrastructure that holds them together. i work in python, typescript, and java. i prefer writing code that i'll still understand in six months.

at mobiliz i'm building ai features for fleet telematics and enterprise document search: self-hosted llms, retrieval that has to stay honest, websocket streams, docker everything. before that, backends at siemens. the through-line is data — how it moves, where it rests, what you ask of it.

off the clock i read finance and psychology (lately: thinking in bets and psychology of money), i lift heavy-ish, run slow-ish, and i play pickup basketball whenever ankara isn't too cold.
