About Me

I'm a technical presales engineer at NiCE Actimize, where I design fraud, AML, and KYC solutions and run proof-of-concepts for banking clients across APAC — translating regulatory and risk requirements into working architectures and demos.

My spine is unusual for presales: I founded TUNE, an AI fine-tuning and deployment platform for SMEs, built products as a full-stack developer at Doerscircle after graduating from DigiPen, then spent three years at Deloitte delivering identity and risk programmes (including SailPoint) for large enterprises — picking up graph data science with Neo4j and hands-on GenAI and RAG engineering along the way.

I'm heading toward the intersection of AI and financial crime: building RAG applications, graph analytics, and data pipelines, and currently working toward the Databricks Data Engineer Associate and Databricks Generative AI Engineer Associate certifications.
