What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that fosters innovation, encourages collaboration, and offers opportunities for professional growth in AI and cloud technologies.

Innovative and results-driven Senior Data & ML Engineer with over 11 years of experience designing, architecting, and scaling intelligent data-driven platforms. From building AI-powered trading systems to engineering real-time data pipelines for global enterprises, I thrive on turning complex data challenges into robust, production-ready solutions.

Whether it’s designing ML workflows, implementing ETL pipelines, deploying AI models at scale, or optimizing cloud-native infrastructure with AWS, GCP, and Kubernetes—I bring a strong mix of data engineering, machine learning, and full-stack expertise. Skilled in Python, Spark, TensorFlow, PyTorch, and modern data frameworks, I specialize in scalable, secure, and high-performance ML systems.

Passionate about the intersection of AI, big data, and cloud computing, and always open to challenging opportunities in ML engineering, data infrastructure, and applied AI—remote and flexible schedules preferred.
