## About

```text
At Snowtex Group, I design and develop an enterprise data-streaming engine using Apache Kafka, Elasticsearch, SignalR, and .NET. I also led its load testing with Apache JMeter.

I’m developing purchase order automation for buyer-provided PDFs using Ollama, Qwen2.5 LLM, and Python, and building ERP modules for business processes including merchandising and purchase order management.

At Solution World Limited, I delivered government-sector software projects and modernized legacy applications from .NET Framework to .NET Core. I also developed RESTful APIs and enterprise applications with C# and ASP.NET Core.

Earlier, at ServicEngine BPO and Athena Software Associates, I developed web applications, services, and a Management Information System. My work included Java web technologies, AngularJS, PHP, and database design.
