    Lead AI Agent Software Engineer focused on real-time, performance-critical systems across AI, networking, embedded devices, and production infrastructure.

    My background sits at the intersection of software and the physical world:

    • Currently leading architecture and production hardening of a real-time multimodal AI agent platform — streaming STT → LLM&#x2F;tools → TTS, WebRTC, asyncio, long-lived state&#x2F;memory, retrieval, observability, failure handling, cancellation, backpressure, and latency-sensitive execution.

    • Previously built real-time networking software for aerial systems using Rust, Linux, eBPF&#x2F;XDP and IEEE 802.1 TSN concepts, including reliability mechanisms where deterministic behavior and low fast-path overhead matter.

    • Earlier developed C&#x2F;C++ bare-metal and RTOS firmware for access-control&#x2F;security and embedded&#x2F;IoT devices — TCP&#x2F;IP, UART&#x2F;I2C&#x2F;SPI, RS232&#x2F;RS485, Modbus, secure device communication, UWB&#x2F;BLE localization, sensors, relays and constrained hardware.

    I’m most interested in difficult engineering problems where timing, reliability, networking, hardware constraints, and user-facing behavior meet: mission&#x2F;performance-critical software, real-time systems, embedded&#x2F;IoT, access control, UWB, distributed device systems, AI infrastructure, backend&#x2F;platform engineering, and systems software.

    I enjoy owning systems end-to-end — architecture, implementation, debugging, benchmarking, deployment, production incidents, and the less glamorous failure modes that only appear in real environments.

    I’m looking for a strong engineering team tackling genuinely hard technical problems. Open to Lead&#x2F;Senior Software, Systems, Embedded, Platform, Backend, Real-Time AI, or similarly hands-on engineering roles.

    If you&#x27;re building something where milliseconds, reliability, hardware, networks, or production correctness actually matter, I&#x27;d be very happy to talk.
