What I'm looking for

I want to build end-to-end AI-enabled web platforms—owning backend, AI/ML services, and the frontend—while optimizing latency and cost. I’m excited to mentor teams and deliver reliable production systems.

I’m a Senior Software Engineer with 7+ years of experience building and operating AI-enabled web products across backend systems, AI/ML services, and frontend applications. I specialize in distributed systems, microservices, and REST/GraphQL APIs, with strong SQL data pipeline experience.

I deliver AI/ML features in production, including LLM-powered applications (GPT/Claude), Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG), embeddings, vector databases, and semantic search. I focus on optimizing performance, latency, and cost through prompt and context tuning.

I own systems end to end across AWS, Azure, and GCP using Kubernetes, Docker, Terraform, and CI/CD, and I mentor engineers through design reviews and code reviews. I also build and maintain React/Next.js frontend applications for dashboards and user-facing products, supporting reliable delivery from architecture to operations.
