What I'm looking for

I seek senior engineering roles where I can build scalable AI-enabled systems, lead cloud-native deployments, mentor teams, and deliver measurable business impact.

I am a Senior Full-Stack Developer with 8+ years of experience building scalable, production-ready systems across AI/ML and web domains.

I design and implement backend platforms using Python (Django, FastAPI, Flask) and Go, and integrate rich frontends with React.js, Angular, and TypeScript. I build AI workflows with LangChain, Claude Sonnet, AWS Bedrock and SageMaker, and audio/NLP models such as FasterWhisper, Deepgram, VOSK, and ElevenLabs.

I have led platform migrations, high-traffic fintech expansions, and enterprise PoCs — delivering zero-downtime AWS migrations, GraphQL APIs, and CI/CD-driven releases. I also mentor teams, contribute to open-source (OpenEdX), and improve test coverage and deployment reliability.

I seek to create impactful, automated solutions using microservices, cloud-native infrastructure (Docker, Kubernetes, Terraform), and LLM/ML integrations to drive business value and product scalability.
