About me

I am a backend engineer specializing in building cloud-native systems, serverless architectures, and AI-driven products. My expertise lies in Node.js, Python, AWS, Azure, and PostgreSQL, enabling me to design scalable and efficient backend solutions. I have a strong background in developing REST APIs, machine learning prototypes, natural language processing applications, and data processing systems.

Throughout my career, I have founded and led technology startups, including Bothub Limited, where I designed an Azure-based IELTS assessment platform featuring automated speech, writing, reading, and listening evaluation. I architect backend services and AI-driven workflows to deliver innovative language test analysis solutions.

I have held leadership roles such as Lead Engineer at Croftz Limited, where I built a retail client KYC identification module and managed key vendor meetings to successfully launch the product. My experience also includes working in cross-functional teams to develop logistics and warehouse automation systems using serverless AWS services.

As a full-stack freelance engineer, I developed web platforms and chatbots for appointment booking, integrating technologies like Node.js, Vue.js, Redis, and MongoDB. I also led sales, legal, and marketing efforts, demonstrating my versatility beyond engineering.

Earlier in my career, I worked as a data analyst at Credit Europe Bank, building predictive models using Bayesian methods and XGBoost, deploying scoring services, and improving customer retention through data-driven insights. I am passionate about leveraging data and cloud technologies to solve complex problems and deliver impactful products.
