I build software for a living and read, write, and watch fiction to make sense of everything else.

By day, I'm a senior engineer at Carl Zeiss, building AI-powered applications that bring intelligent automation to domains like optics, pharma, and energy — and helping developers across the organisation navigate and adopt AI in their own work. Before that, I researched moral decision-making at Harvard and the Max Planck Institute, and did a PhD in cognitive neuroscience in Trieste. The thread connecting physics, brain science, and code is the same one: a stubborn need to understand how things work and do something impactful with that understanding.

Along the way, I've authored open-source libraries for data visualisation, statistical analysis, and code quality, published peer-reviewed research in neuroscience and psychology, written a screenplay adapted from Marathi literature, and am finishing a collection of speculative fiction about technology's quiet costs.
