What I'm looking for

I'm seeking AI/ML Engineer, Python, or Data roles, and I'm open to full-time or B2B contractor engagements.

I built a multilingual agentic RAG application with ChromaDB vector search, tool calling, and MCP integration. I exposed it through FastAPI and Gradio, then containerized and deployed it with Docker and a GitHub Actions CI/CD workflow.

My projects also include a multimodal emotion recognition system combining video, facial, and audio information, plus a PostgreSQL and Power BI analysis of AI and Data job-market patterns. I'm pursuing a Master's in Computer Science focused on Artificial Intelligence Methods and Models.
