What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a team that values production-grade AI and cloud engineering—where I can lead, scale reliable systems, and improve reliability, performance, and cost while shipping quickly.

I’m a Senior Software Engineer with 10+ years of experience designing and delivering AI-driven, cloud-native software solutions across AWS and Azure. I translate complex business problems into production-ready systems that drive measurable impact.

I’ve led teams and scaled high-traffic platforms—like building a C#/.NET Core smart-grid forecasting platform processing 1.2M+ daily records, and deploying RAG and ML workflows that improved outcomes such as outage prediction accuracy (+27%) and reduced issue resolution time (35%).

I’m equally comfortable across the stack and operations: I’ve engineered NLP automation, multi-turn conversational AI agents, semantic retrieval over 500K+ documents, and observability with anomaly detection. From CI/CD with Terraform to Kubernetes deployments, I focus on reliability, performance, and cost efficiency.
