What I'm looking for

I am looking for a hands‑on engineering role focused on AI or full‑stack development, strong team collaboration, mentorship opportunities, and building user‑centric products with modern cloud and CI/CD practices.

I am a full‑stack developer with hands‑on experience building AI-enabled web applications, REST APIs, and scalable backends using TypeScript, Python, FastAPI, PostgreSQL and Docker. I have delivered production features for education and agritech projects and contributed substantial code to collaborative repositories.

As a Student Tech Lead and Software Developer Intern, I led tech events, presented on AI projects, and developed e‑learning and job‑matching platforms—implementing frontend work in Angular and React and backend services in Node.js and FastAPI. I also provide freelance Computer Science project consulting via Fiverr.

I prioritize clear communication, collaboration with end users (including farmers) for product feedback, and producing maintainable code using CI/CD and cloud tooling. I seek roles where I can apply AI and full‑stack skills to build impactful, user‑focused products.
