I’m a software engineer with a builder’s mindset - someone who loves taking ideas from whiteboard to production. In the startup world, I’ve worn many hats: designing APIs, deploying AI agents, building automation pipelines, and launching Dragin’s ACH payments system.

My goal is simple: build systems that are fast, reliable, and make a real impact. 

Tech Stack: Python (FastAPI, Flask), Go, Docker, AWS, Linux, REST APIs, Postgres, Redis, DynamoDB, LangGraph, Hugging Face, PyTorch, React
