01 · Profile

Applied AI, all the way to production.

I build agentic AI systems that retrieve evidence, use tools, extract structured data, and validate their outputs. At TGS, I apply that approach to multimodal search across petabyte-scale seismic data.

My foundation is in C++ and computer vision. More recently, I have worked on edge LLM serving with TensorRT Edge-LLM, continuous batching, chunked prefill, and measured latency and throughput on Jetson Orin. I work across data, model, evaluation, infrastructure, and runtime performance.

01

Build for evidence. Evaluation, observability, and benchmarking belong inside the architecture.

02

Engineer the full path. From raw, high-entropy data to a reliable production interface.

03

Optimize where it matters. Retrieval quality, latency, throughput, memory, and cost.

02 · Expertise

Systems that reason, retrieve, and scale.

02 / Edge LLM

Continuous batching on Jetson

Submitted native two-sequence continuous batching and chunked prefill to NVIDIA TensorRT Edge-LLM. A qualified Jetson Orin test in the open pull request reports 22.54 to 33.97 output tokens/s.

03 / Local AI

OpenClaw model service

Built a shared OpenAI-compatible model endpoint across Jetson, an RTX laptop, and an AWS GPU host, using TensorRT Edge-LLM and vLLM backends with documented deployment and benchmarks.

04 / Trustworthy AI
