## About

```text
At IBM, I lead 30+ engineers across three AI/ML projects and three time zones, combining people management with technical direction. I work with researchers, product teams, engineers, and an architect to move AI prototypes into production.

As a Senior Software Engineer at IBM, I developed model selection, hyperparameter tuning, and evaluation for the AutoML platform, then integrated ML components into production pipelines. At FCAPP, I developed Python backend services and REST APIs and built ML/DL pipelines for production applications.

Earlier, at STX NEXT, I developed Python/Django backend services and ML components and automated application testing. I also lead CoE, an NGO helping young people explore quantum technologies, space, and AI, and previously developed programme roadmaps and strategic plans at NAYORA.
