What I'm looking for

I seek roles building production AI systems and scalable full-stack platforms, emphasizing cross-functional leadership, MLOps automation, and cloud-first infrastructure.

I am a Senior Full Stack Engineer and AI Data Scientist with over 10 years of experience building AI-driven solutions, scalable full-stack platforms, and intelligent data pipelines. I combine modern engineering practices with machine learning to deliver production-ready systems that drive measurable business outcomes.

I have designed and implemented AI-powered microservices and multi-cloud MLOps pipelines integrating AWS SageMaker, Azure AI Studio, and Vertex AI, and I deploy RAG and retrieval-optimized embeddings for improved semantic search performance. I build user-facing dashboards with React and Next.js and integrate speech and voice technologies for richer UX.

My background includes end-to-end data engineering work—ETL, streaming, orchestration—and migrating monoliths to microservices using Docker, Kubernetes, and infrastructure-as-code. I have led cross-functional teams, defined architecture and data contracts, and automated CI/CD to accelerate reproducible deployments.

I focus on reliability, security, and performance at scale, and I am motivated by projects that bridge AI intelligence and software engineering to reduce latency, improve forecasting accuracy, and lower operational costs.
