What I'm looking for

I seek a role that fosters innovation, encourages collaboration, and offers opportunities for growth in AI and software development.

I am a Senior Software Engineer with around 8 years of experience in scalable backend systems and full-stack development, including 1.5 years focused on AI-driven automation. My journey began at clypd, where I transitioned to Xandr and later to Microsoft after its acquisition, taking on growing responsibilities and leading impactful projects.

At Microsoft, I spearheaded the development of the Bid-Analyzer tool, which visualizes auction journeys for ad campaigns, significantly increasing customer confidence by 25%. I also played a crucial role in Project Elysium, where I developed low-latency AI agents for incident resolution, cutting down resolution time from 7 days to just 2 days. My passion for advancing multimodal AI and deep learning drives my commitment to building innovative solutions that enhance user engagement and operational efficiency.
