Senior AI Full-Stack Engineer with 15+ years of experience at Zest AI, Microsoft and Apple building cloud platforms and AI-powered solutions.

United States
Message

At Zest AI, I build AI-driven fintech platforms using React, Node.js, Python, LLMs, and cloud technologies. I develop AI-powered workflows, microservices, APIs, and secure applications, while improving platform performance and deployment reliability through Azure DevOps, Docker, Kubernetes, and CI/CD practices.

Previously, I was an AI Software Engineer at Apple, where I worked on consumer AI and search platforms, developing recommendation systems, conversational AI features, and LLM-integrated applications using TypeScript, React, and Node.js. I also built automated testing solutions that improved code quality and reduced defects.

Before Apple, I spent 10 years at Microsoft working on cloud, AI, and enterprise systems. I built cloud-native applications with Azure, .NET Core, and Python, developed machine learning models and data pipelines using Azure Machine Learning, and designed scalable APIs and microservices for enterprise solutions.

I started my career as a Full-Stack Developer at BX3 Interactive, building web applications, REST APIs, and backend services using JavaScript, AngularJS, Node.js, and .NET. Throughout my career, I have focused on building scalable software systems, AI applications, and cloud platforms that solve real business problems.
