What I'm looking for

I seek a collaborative engineering role applying ML and automation to production systems, with opportunities for measurable impact and technical growth.

I am a driven software engineering professional with strong foundations in algorithms, systems design, and modern development practices, focused on delivering production-ready ML and automation solutions.

I have hands-on experience building real-time perception systems, quantitative trading strategies, and robust automation tools—several efforts resulted in peer-reviewed publications and measurable performance gains (for example, trajectory MAE 0.45m, speed MAPE ±1.8 km/h, and a trading strategy that outperformed the S&P 500 benchmark by 15%).

I collaborate across teams, lead cross-functional initiatives, and prioritize reliability and scalability in the SDLC; I seek roles where I can apply ML, systems engineering, and automation to deliver impactful products in production environments.
