AI/ML Engineer with Mathematical Foundations

My background is unusual for an AI/ML engineer: I spent years doing pure mathematics research — topological dynamics, ergodic theory, measure theory — before deliberately building toward applied ML and AI. That foundation means I don't just apply algorithms or wire up LLM APIs; I understand why they work, where they break, and how to design systems that are mathematically sound. I've since shipped Teachling — a live AI product built on React, Node.js, and Vertex AI — serving learners and instructors. I'm currently seeking AI/ML engineering or applied research roles where that rigour is an asset.
