What I'm looking for

I’m looking to build scalable, data-driven products—production REST APIs with real-time features, plus ML/vision models deployed end-to-end, using FastAPI, Docker, and MLOps as I grow.

I’m an analytical, results-driven Data Scientist & Backend Developer transforming data into intelligent, web-integrated systems. I build and maintain production Django REST APIs across live products, working with PostgreSQL, Redis, Celery, and Django Channels to deliver measurable performance improvements.

My projects span real-time ML solutions (including a sign language system achieving over 95% accuracy across 26 gesture classes) and predictive analytics with 85–88% accuracy using ensemble models. I’m also exploring FastAPI, Docker, and MLOps to scale data-driven, deployment-ready solutions—pairing clean API design with practical model deployment and computer vision.
