Hello

Here's who I am and what I do

Bio Projects

I am the Co-founder and CTO of Kara Technologies, where I have spent 8+ years building and shipping AI-powered Sign Language avatar translation systems.

I own end-to-end architecture across NLP, runtime animation systems, and cloud APIs, and lead multidisciplinary teams through research, productization, and enterprise delivery.

Current focus: low-latency, high-accuracy accessibility systems for critical communication contexts.

Talk to me about solving challenging problems: scaling transformers, accessibility in the age of AI, recycling to name a few!
