I like working where ambitious research meets the friction of the real world, then engineering away that friction.
I’ve been programming since middle school and have spent the last few years building systems that bridge complex theory and useful application, with a particular focus on computer vision and world models.
My journey into AI began in high school with deep learning models for fake-news detection. I now serve as Software Lead at Triton UAS, where I lead software across computer vision, embedded inference, development tooling, and simulation. I also co-authored research on the PAN world model for general simulation in Professor Zhiting Hu’s lab.
I’m equally drawn to focused tools that solve actual headaches. I built File Order Randomizer, a Premiere Pro extension created for one frustrating workflow gap; it now serves more than 9,000 editors. I keep chasing that balance between technical depth and an honest understanding of how people use software.
Away from the screen, I’m usually tinkering with an FPV drone, automating a tedious part of my life, or unwinding with Tchaikovsky. And yes, I was named after Kimi Räikkönen. I may not be as fast as the Iceman, but I promise I speak more than two words at a time.
