AI researcher · Multimodal intelligence

Intelligence isn’t static. It should know how to adapt as the world evolves.

I am an Applied Research Scientist at Openstream AI, developing multimodal and agentic systems that learn from diverse signals and remain useful beyond their training distribution.
