Senior Software Engineer with ~7 years of experience building full-stack, cloud, and enterprise applications. Over the last couple of years, I’ve focused on AI and Generative AI, developing LLM-powered systems and AI agents that automate workflows and solve real-world problems.

I thrive at the intersection of software engineering, AI, and cloud infrastructure, taking ownership of projects end-to-end and turning complex challenges into scalable, reliable, and impactful solutions. My work spans full-stack development, cloud deployments, and AI/GenAI integration, ensuring systems are high-performance, secure, and production-ready.

Core strengths:

Full-Stack Development: React, Next.js, TypeScript, Node.js, Python
AI & Automation (recent focus): LLMs, LangGraph, RAG pipelines, vector databases, AI workflows
Cloud & Scalability: AWS Solutions Architect, cloud-native architectures
Security & Identity: SSO, OAuth, Keycloak, JWT, multi-tenant systems
DevOps & Reliability: Docker, Jenkins, CI/CD pipelines, production deployments

With a Master’s in Computer Information Sciences, I focus on building solutions that don’t just work - they make work smarter, faster, and more reliable, leveraging AI/GenAI and cloud technologies to drive tangible impact.
