What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a team where I can build scalable full-stack products and integrate AI into real workflows—shipping reliable APIs, event-driven systems, and great UX while growing impact with strong engineering practices.

I’m a Senior AI Full Stack Engineer with 10+ years of experience designing and building AI-powered web platforms across Healthcare, Fintech, E-Commerce, and SaaS. I focus on delivering scalable, interactive AI solutions that improve user experiences and resolve complex business problems.

At SKY, I architected a distributed data processing platform on C#, .NET 6, ASP.NET Core, and Azure Data Factory (5M+ records/day), optimized REST APIs (30% lower latency), and implemented event-driven pipelines with Azure Service Bus and Azure Functions. I also integrate ML.NET for anomaly detection, containerize microservices with Docker for AKS, and strengthen reliability and quality with Application Insights/OpenTelemetry, resilient background processing, and xUnit/Moq testing.
