What I'm looking for

I seek backend/ML-focused roles that value clean architecture, measurable impact, collaborative teams, and opportunities to build end-to-end data-driven systems.

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. I collaborate effectively across functions and am motivated to contribute in roles that blend backend engineering, data engineering, and ML.
