What I'm looking for

I seek a collaborative, cloud-native team building scalable SaaS and AI-driven back-end systems, with opportunities to lead architecture, mentor engineers, and advance ML integration.

I am an accomplished back-end engineer with over a decade of experience building SaaS platforms, microservices, and cloud-native systems. I focus on Java, Python, and Node.js while expanding expertise in artificial intelligence and machine learning.

I have contributed to enterprise SaaS projects by designing secure, scalable services using Spring Boot, REST APIs, relational and NoSQL databases, and containerized deployments with Docker and Kubernetes. I have implemented CI/CD pipelines, worked across Azure, AWS and GCP, and integrated initial AI modules for sentiment analysis, image classification, and audio signal processing using Python, scikit-learn, TensorFlow and PyTorch.

I deliver pragmatic engineering outcomes that improve performance, availability and security, and I am completing graduate studies in AI to deepen my applied ML capabilities. I seek to join teams building production-ready, AI-enabled back-end solutions where I can drive technical improvements and mentor engineers.
