What I'm looking for

I seek technical leadership roles where I can architect data-driven systems, mentor teams, and deliver scalable ML/NLP and visualization solutions for social impact and international development.

I am a seasoned data and software engineer with over a decade of experience building scalable web and mobile systems, interactive data visualizations, and AI-driven tools for international development and private-sector clients.

As a principal architect and technical lead, I have designed and implemented end-to-end solutions—project management systems, data warehouses, NLP/LLM pipelines, and interactive reports—delivering measurable impact for organizations such as USAID, UNICEF, Gap Inc., and others.

I combine deep technical skills (Python, Java/Kotlin, Django, Spring Boot, React, d3.js, ML/NLP tooling) with strong programmatic and cross-functional leadership to turn complex data into accessible insights that inform policy and operational decisions.
