What I'm looking for

I’m looking to architect and scale enterprise AI solutions end-to-end—using AWS and Spark—to improve predictive performance, reduce operational cost, and help teams make faster, data-driven decisions.

I’m a Senior Enterprise AI Solutions Architect with over 8 years of experience in software engineering and data analytics. I build and architect AI-driven solutions that scale across enterprise environments, empowering data-driven decisions through strong cloud and data-processing foundations.

At Verato Group, I collaborated with data science teams to develop machine learning models that improved predictive accuracy by 30%, and I streamlined data ingestion and processing to reduce operational costs by 20%. I’ve also led Apache Spark backend optimization, supported real-time analytics and data accessibility on AWS, and partnered across teams to translate business requirements into AI initiatives with data security and compliance in mind.
