What I'm looking for

I seek roles where I can build scalable AI-enabled systems, lead full-stack and cloud architecture, collaborate with domain experts, and drive reliable, testable, observable production services.

I am a Senior Full-Stack & AI Engineer with 7+ years designing, building, and maintaining scalable, dependable systems across scientific, media, and AI domains. I translate domain requirements into technical solutions, emphasize test-driven development and observability, and collaborate closely with stakeholders to deliver accurate, performant, and compliant outputs.

My recent work includes designing ESA’s LLM-powered Earth Virtual Expert, engineering RAG pipelines, multi-turn memory, agent workflows, and refactoring pipelines into microservices for improved scalability and reliability. I also led AI-driven features and microservices architectures at Videopixie, built low-latency APIs and CI/CD workflows, and contributed early-stage full-stack development and frontend performance improvements at Kauky.
