What I'm looking for

I seek roles focused on AI/ML infrastructure, information retrieval or distributed systems where I can build scalable solutions, work cross-functionally, contribute to open-source, and continue learning while growing technically.

I hold an M.Sc. in Computer Science with a focus on Unix/Linux environments, distributed systems, machine learning, and TCP/IP protocols. I am versatile and detail-oriented, with a strong foundation in system-level problem solving and SDLC methodologies.

At Aligner I researched and developed AI models for code generation using Python, reinforcement learning, and supervised learning, increasing model accuracy by 30%. I engineered distributed systems and automation pipelines for scalable AI model development and deployment on Unix/Linux platforms, and collaborated cross-functionally to address production scalability and data access challenges.

I am passionate about AI infrastructure, information retrieval, and open-source technologies. I bring leadership, collaboration, and analytical thinking to projects, and I enjoy building practical solutions—from online systems (library management, news portal) to AI-powered tooling—while continuously learning and coordinating cross-functional work.
