What I'm looking for

I seek roles building AI-driven, scalable systems in collaborative teams, with opportunities to lead technical initiatives and apply cloud and ML expertise.

I am a Full Stack Engineer with 5+ years of hands-on experience building scalable, high-performance applications across e-commerce, healthcare, and retail. I specialize in Python, AI, data science, and cloud technologies to deliver reliable production systems.

I've led development of AI-enabled Warehouse Management Systems, improved API performance by 65%, reduced inference latency by 30% through transformer optimizations, and implemented RLHF and red-teaming to reduce model toxicity by 40%. I design microservices, integrate third-party APIs, and streamline deployments using AWS, Docker, and PostgreSQL.

I enjoy solving complex problems, mentoring teams, and applying research-driven approaches — from spatial analytics work on traffic congestion to building EMR and secure systems — to deliver measurable business impact and technical excellence.
