What I'm looking for

I seek senior engineering roles building AI-enabled, scalable web platforms with strong DevOps practices, mentoring teams, and delivering measurable business impact.

I am a Senior Full Stack Developer with over 10 years of experience building robust, scalable web solutions for companies including Microsoft and Deloitte. I specialize in modern JavaScript frameworks (Next.js, React, Angular), Node.js backends, and Python frameworks (Django, Flask), with strong expertise in AI and machine learning integrations.

I have delivered production-ready platforms across AI, HealthTech, e-commerce, and gaming, implementing recommendation engines, NLP, predictive analytics, and LLM integrations. I lead technical teams, mentor junior developers, and champion Agile and DevOps practices to ensure high-quality, maintainable code and timely delivery.

I am focused on creating future-ready applications that drive business growth and improved user experiences, leveraging microservices, serverless deployments, Docker, AWS, and end-to-end ML/AI integration to solve complex problems.
