What I'm looking for

I seek senior engineering roles building AI-enabled, cloud-native systems with strong MLOps, automated CI/CD, collaborative teams, and opportunities to lead architecture and mentor engineers.

I am a Senior Full-Stack Engineer with 8+ years building cloud-native, AI-enabled platforms and MLOps workflows. I design and deliver scalable microservice architectures and developer-friendly automation that reduce operational risk.

My work spans Python (Flask, FastAPI, Django), TypeScript/JavaScript (React, Next.js, Node.js), and modern ML toolchains including LangChain, OpenAI API, HuggingFace, Pinecone, and FAISS. I architect event-driven systems and integrate vector databases for real-time decision intelligence.

I have led end-to-end delivery of analytics and SaaS platforms—improving deployment velocity, uptime, and API latency through caching, async queues, and CI/CD automation. I also implement Terraform/AWS infrastructure and containerized deployments with Kubernetes and Docker.

I mentor teams and collaborate closely with data science and DevOps to translate business goals into production-grade solutions that measurably improve performance and developer velocity.
