What I'm looking for

I’m looking to grow as a software engineer by building user-focused web products and integrating AI/LLM capabilities responsibly. I want a team that values clean REST APIs, strong testing, and iterative delivery through code reviews and CI.

I’m a software engineer intern at Forlyze, working on Intrvio—an AI interviewer product that automates candidate screening and assessment at scale using large language models. I help power real-time question generation and candidate response evaluation through integrated AI/LLM APIs.

On the product side, I build and maintain responsive frontend features with React and Next.js to improve the interviewer experience and reduce candidate drop-off. I also contribute to Node.js backend services by implementing REST API endpoints for interview session management and data persistence.

I bring that same end-to-end mindset to my projects. I built a scalable React e-commerce application deployed on AWS Amplify with an automated CI/CD pipeline and strong Jest coverage, and I developed a full-stack job search platform in Django with JWT authentication, role-based authorization, and optimized backend queries.

I also enjoy practical automation, like my Python stock price notifier using Selenium and SMTP for threshold-based email alerts. I thrive in collaborative engineering with code reviews, Git workflows, and test-driven delivery—where quality and usability both matter.
