Independent ML engineer. I build complete AI systems solo — and I go deeper than most, down to the GPU kernels, the SDE solvers, and the math underneath.

Chemical-engineering M.Sc. by training; independent ML engineer by what I've built since. I like problems where the system, the math, and the physics all matter at once — Hebrew RAG over messy inputs, multi-camera CV under real-time constraints, porting models onto hardware the upstream code never expected. The case studies show the range; the research page shows how deep it goes.

A production-AI pipeline shape — live audio → transcript → structured extraction → RAG retrieval → quote document. The kind of system most of my independent work has been.

Stick–slip dynamics from the Prandtl–Tomlinson model — the tip climbs linearly through stick phases and drops abruptly through slip events. Canonical friction-at-the-atomic-scale signature, and the core object of my thesis.

Selected Work

Three systems built end-to-end — each with a full case study.

Research

Interactive simulations grounded in my thesis on friction at the atomic scale — stick–slip dynamics, stochastic integration, and polymer unfolding. This is the depth under the systems above.
