What I'm looking for

I seek roles where I can lead backend and AI development, build production ML-driven products, mentor teams, and work in a collaborative, innovation-focused environment that values measurable impact.

I am an AI-focused software engineer and backend leader with experience building production data-driven applications and leading teams to deliver digital innovation.

I co-founded AIMotor, where I lead AI and backend development to analyze telemetry and provide actionable suggestions to drivers, growing the paid user base to 130 active subscribers by 2025.

At Avnet I progressed from Software Engineer to Digital Innovation Lead Software Engineer and now manage the Digital Innovation Backend Team, developing AI applications and analytics pipelines using React, FastAPI, PySpark, SQL, MongoDB, Azure and Databricks.

I combine a Master in Artificial Intelligence & Data Analytics with hands-on engineering, tutoring experience, and a track record of improving business processes with ML and automation.
