What I'm looking for

I seek remote software engineering roles where I can lead full-stack development, integrate AI/ML solutions, work cross-functionally, and build scalable, user-first products with 5–6 hour overlap.

I am a Full-Stack Software Engineer with 2+ years of experience building scalable web applications, APIs, and AI-enhanced platforms using ReactJS, NextJS, NodeJS, and Python.

I co-founded a tele-mental health platform that scaled to 300+ active users and led teams optimizing LLMs with RLHF and supervised fine-tuning for clients including Google and Microsoft.

As Director of Technologies, I architected cloud-native SaaS systems with Python, FastAPI, PostgreSQL, and AWS, implemented AI agentic workflows that reduced manual review time by over 60%, and improved system performance and developer productivity.

I am passionate about user-first products in mental health, education, and AI; I seek roles where I can lead full-stack development, integrate ML pipelines, and deliver scalable, impactful solutions.
