About

Professional summary

I am a senior AI engineer and full-stack software engineer with a strong focus on building end-to-end products that combine machine learning, retrieval, and modern web technologies.

I have experience taking products from zero to production, including architecture, implementation, deployment, and measurable performance improvements. My work has included recommendation systems, chatbot APIs, and retrieval-augmented generation pipelines.

I work comfortably across the stack, with hands-on experience in React, TypeScript, Next.js, FastAPI, Django, and REST APIs. I also have deep experience with Python-based ML workflows, model training, semantic search, and LLM evaluation.

My background includes building systems around PostgreSQL, Neo4j, MongoDB, Redis, Elasticsearch, Kafka, and AWS infrastructure. I care about scalable architecture, clean engineering practices, and shipping reliable products.

I have led technical work in startup environments, collaborated with founders and teams, and owned code quality through reviews and iterative delivery. I enjoy solving complex product and infrastructure problems with practical engineering decisions.

I am open to opportunities where I can contribute as a senior individual contributor or technical leader in AI, machine learning, and full-stack product engineering.
