I have successfully launched and maintained applications that serve tens of thousands of customers, demonstrating my ability to deliver high-quality software solutions.

My technical skills include a strong grasp of modern LLMs such as GPT, Claude, and Llama, and I have real experience building solutions that leverage these technologies. I have optimized database queries, implemented caching strategies, and architected intelligent systems that enhance user experience and operational efficiency. I am passionate about utilizing cutting-edge technologies to solve complex problems and drive innovation in software development.
