What I'm looking for

I’m looking to own production ML + backend systems—design scalable APIs, build reliable inference, and improve pipelines through CI/CD, monitoring, and iteration—while mentoring engineers and delivering tangible business outcomes.

I’m a Senior Python & AI Engineer with 6+ years of experience building scalable backend systems and production-grade data and machine learning platforms. My work has focused on designing and deploying APIs, data pipelines, and AI-driven services that power real-world applications and support data-informed decision-making.

In my current role, I lead the development of AI-powered backend systems using Python and FastAPI, where I’ve built end-to-end pipelines for data ingestion, preprocessing, model training, and real-time inference. I’ve deployed predictive models and NLP solutions into production, optimized for performance and reliability, and integrated them into customer-facing applications. I’ve also contributed to system architecture, CI/CD workflows, and mentoring engineers to maintain high engineering standards.

Prior to this, I worked on building data pipelines and machine learning models for classification and forecasting, including deep learning solutions using TensorFlow and PyTorch. My earlier experience includes developing backend systems with Django, designing APIs, and working with relational and NoSQL databases to support scalable applications.

I’m particularly interested in building data platforms, AI-powered systems, and backend infrastructure that can scale reliably. I enjoy working at the intersection of engineering and data, solving complex problems, and continuously improving systems based on real-world usage.

Outside of work, I like exploring advancements in AI, experimenting with new tools and technologies, and staying up to date with trends in backend and data engineering.
