What I'm looking for

I'm looking for opportunities to build backend systems and AI-powered products, contribute to production engineering teams, and deepen my experience with scalable APIs, distributed systems, and machine learning.

I've built market data and order-execution gateway components for ASTERDEX at GoQuant Technologies, processing real-time L1/L2 order book, trade, and ticker updates with concurrent C++ systems.

I also built HireMind end to end, an AI hiring platform using FastAPI, Next.js, MongoDB, and PyTorch, and resolved database scaling failures under load through connection pooling and targeted indexes.
