What I'm looking for
I am a software engineer focused on building robust, scalable backend systems and applied machine-learning solutions using Python (FastAPI, Flask), PHP (Laravel), and SQL. I deliver end-to-end solutions,APIs, data pipelines, and ML inference systems that emphasize clean architecture, performance, and measurable business impact.
I have engineered production-style projects including a Dockerized FastAPI expense-tracker with JWT auth, an integrated Laravel–Flask ML pricing system achieving 85% accuracy, and a multi-layer PostgreSQL ETL pipeline with Power BI reporting.
