I build AI systems that survive production — real‑time vision at Hakimo.ai handling 2M+ security events a day across 5,000+ cameras and 150+ customers, LLM data pipelines, and agentic tooling.
Staff Engineer at Hakimo.ai (AI security), targeting applied‑AI and forward‑deployed work. Recently: top‑10 finalist at the Gen AI Exchange Hackathon 2025, and advised LawMatrix through seed.
WebSocket monitoring console for Hakimo.ai — an NVR‑style grid rendering hundreds of parallel camera streams at sub‑second latency.
Co‑architected the gateway + ingestion layer behind 2M+ events/day; edge inference on YOLOv11/RF‑DETR cut CPU ~60% — the in‑house path avoided ~$500K.
3,872 recently funded AI companies, LLM‑classified from six free data sources, with live hiring signals.
