What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that fosters innovation and collaboration, where I can leverage my AI and full-stack development skills to create impactful solutions.

I am an AI Engineer and Full-Stack Developer with a strong focus on creating innovative solutions that leverage artificial intelligence and full-stack development. As the Co-founder and CTO of Perfingo, I architected an AI-powered financial ecosystem, utilizing Angular, Python, and AWS to deliver intuitive user experiences. My experience includes implementing LLM-based transaction extraction agents and leading a team of software engineers, fostering an environment of collaboration and efficiency.

Previously, I served as an AI Apprentice at AI Singapore, where I developed a multimodal AI model for the World Wildlife Fund to combat illegal wildlife trade. My role as Content Automation Lead at Daretofinance allowed me to engineer an AI content automation system that significantly reduced content creation costs and research time. I have also interned at SAP, where I applied NLP techniques to analyze legal documents and developed an end-to-end Python ETL pipeline.
