About

I am a Modem System Engineer with deep expertise in Wireless Systems and Cellular Protocol Stack Development (L2/L3/NAS). My differentiator lies in my high systemizing intelligence, allowing me to approach complex problems systematically.

Beyond traditional protocol stack development, I am heavily engaged with AI & ML. I design distributed microservice architectures, build AI-driven engineering tools, and host quantized local LLMs for self-hosted AI micro-clouds.
