- Comfortable making irreversible or high-impact decisions with incomplete information.

- Obsession with evaluation, correctness, and how systems behave over time.

- High ownership mentality; you operate as a founder, not a manager.

- Tech Stack:  GPU-based training and inference system, JAX, Python, and PyTorch.
