What I'm looking for

I seek roles where I can build scalable cloud and AI-enabled products, integrate hardware solutions, lead technical projects, and contribute to open-source initiatives in a collaborative, growth-oriented team.

I am a versatile software engineer and entrepreneur with over six years of experience across web development, cloud engineering, RFID/GPS hardware integration, and machine learning. I run a web hosting business and build data scraping engines and AI solutions for diverse clients.

As Founder & CEO of a cloud and enterprise solutions company, I built and manage hosting services for 125+ clients, perform AI model training and dataset labeling, and deliver custom development and consulting. I have hands-on experience designing CI/CD pipelines, optimizing cloud resources, and maintaining reliable server infrastructure.

In product and open-source work, I led development of fractional real estate software with AI-driven valuation models, contributed to wildlife-conservation tools using image recognition, and built biometric KYC and RFID scanner integrations. I combine full-stack web skills with hardware integration to solve real-world problems.

I am passionate about open-source, AI research, IoT solutions, wildlife conservation technology, and real estate tech, and I bring an entrepreneurial drive to deliver high-impact, production-ready systems that scale.
