What I'm looking for

I'm looking to build production AI systems, scalable backend platforms, and data-driven automation products where strong system design, cloud architecture, and real-world business impact matter.

I've led AI-first system development at ZAPTA Technologies, integrating LLM-powered features, intelligent chat interfaces, workflow automation, and secure APIs into production applications. I build scalable backend services with Python, Django, Flask, Node.js, JWT, OAuth2, and Swagger.

Across Leads Genius, SOFTOO, and Aridian Technologies, I've delivered data-driven web platforms, AI assistants, automation workflows, React frontends, and reliable API systems. My project work spans telehealth voice agents, event ticketing and payments, real-time trading analytics, and healthcare data pipelines using cloud infrastructure, PostgreSQL, AWS, and real-time systems.
