What I'm looking for

I seek backend or AI-focused roles where I can lead technical delivery, build reliable systems, and apply automation and RAG/agent solutions within collaborative Agile teams.

I am a senior Python backend engineer with 8+ years building automation, internal tools, and system integrations across mobile and backend platforms.

I have led technical delivery for cross-functional teams, mentored junior engineers, and implemented process improvements that reduced manual work and release errors.

Recently I focused on AI-powered systems and generative platforms, deploying RAG and agent-based solutions using LangChain, LangGraph, FastAPI, Docker, and AWS.

I hold an MBA in AI/ML and multiple certifications; I seek roles where I can drive backend architecture, improve reliability, and apply AI to product problems.
