What I'm looking for

I'm looking to build production-grade backend and AI-powered products, with opportunities to work on distributed systems, AWS infrastructure, and scalable customer-facing features.

At Velvee, I've shipped the Influencer Dashboard, Visual Search, and a credit and subscription system supporting free and pro plans. I re-architected catalog ingestion into an EventBridge automation that extracts external catalogs and indexes products in Elasticsearch.

I've built and maintained REST APIs across Instagram-driven microservices, managed production AWS serverless infrastructure, and containerized services with Docker. I also built DeepScan, a Flask-based video classifier using a pretrained Swin Transformer, Instagram Messaging API, and a self-improving feedback loop deployed on Hugging Face Spaces.
