About

Backend Engineer with 7+ years of experience building cloud-native APIs and automation systems that improve reliability, scalability, and delivery speed. In recent years, I’ve expanded my expertise into MLOps and cloud automation, combining backend engineering with modern ML infrastructure to deliver faster and more dependable solutions. This blend of backend and MLOps expertise allows me to design systems that are both developer-friendly and operationally efficient. Skilled in Python, AWS, Kubernetes, Docker, and CI/CD, I build solutions that are robust, observable, and efficient at scale — bridging development and operations through workflow automation and performance optimization. Passionate about clean architecture, DevOps best practices, and backend scalability, I thrive on turning complex, distributed systems into maintainable, production-ready services that make technology simpler, faster, and more reliable.
