What I'm looking for

I’m seeking roles building applied ML and software products where I can lead end-to-end development, integrate research into production, and drive measurable user impact.

I am an AI and software engineer with experience leading cross-functional teams to build ML-driven web applications, enterprise integrations, and research-grade models. I have delivered products from prototype to production—including gamified learning apps, HR resume analysis tools, and literature-review automation—while contributing research in computer vision and NLP.

My background blends applied research and industry work: I’ve led backend and server-side development for healthcare systems, developed ODOO customizations and Power BI reporting for enterprise operations, and implemented LSTM, Transformer and hybrid models for classification and recommendation tasks with measurable accuracy. I pursue pragmatic, user-focused AI solutions that integrate clean engineering, reproducible experiments, and data-informed decision making.
