What I'm looking for

I seek roles building cloud-native, real-time, and AI-integrated systems where I can lead architecture, mentor engineers, and deliver scalable, secure products.

I am a Senior Software Engineer and AI Engineer with over 8 years building web, mobile, and AI-powered solutions across sports betting, SaaS, and enterprise domains. I design and deliver cloud-native, event-driven microservices and real-time systems using Java/Spring Boot, MERN, Python, and modern cloud platforms.

My work includes migrating legacy systems to gRPC, deploying AI/ML inference in production, and optimizing databases and pipelines for low-latency operations. I mentor teams, implement secure architectures, and automate infrastructure with Terraform and CI/CD to drive scalable, reliable products.
