AI engineer and backend developer building scalable ML-driven systems and production-ready APIs.
What I'm looking for
I am an AI engineer and backend developer with hands-on experience designing ML models, NLP pipelines, and scalable API backends. I build production systems that integrate LLMs, vector search, and asynchronous task orchestration to solve real-world problems.
My projects include a conversational research assistant using LangChain and vector databases, an emotion-aware chat API with TensorFlow, a recommendation engine for e-learning built on Laravel and Redis, and an AI workflow orchestrator leveraging Celery and FastAPI. I focus on modular architectures, performance optimization, and maintainable code.
I collaborate with cross-functional teams to move AI from research to production, continuously learn emerging technologies, and deliver systems that are robust, observable, and user-focused.
