What I'm looking for

I’m looking to build secure, scalable products that blend backend engineering with applied AI—using LLMs and explainable models. I want a collaborative team where QA rigor, clean architecture, and practical delivery matter.

I’m a Software Engineer and AI-engineering focused developer currently working on backend features and QA testing for “The Gaffer,” while collaborating on a secure voting platform with accurate vote-handling logic.

Previously, as a Backend Engineering & Data Science Intern, I built a Task Management System with RESTful APIs and Gemini API-powered LLM recommendations, and I developed a Logistic Regression model for employee churn—translating outputs into actionable retention recommendations.

I also enjoy taking projects end-to-end, like FarmBuddy’s multimodal AI advisory PWA/Telegram bot and CardioXAI’s explainable risk screening using SMOTE, ensemble learning, and SHAP/LIME for interpretability. I’m driven by building reliable systems, clear specifications, and models that stakeholders can trust.
