About

👋 I’m a Senior Software Engineer who builds scalable, developer-friendly systems at the intersection of product engineering, AI, and platform reliability. I specialize in turning complex backend and AI workflows into clear, usable products that teams actually enjoy working with. 💻 Over the last 4 years, I’ve owned and shipped systems used firm-wide—ranging from an AI/LLM Gateway supporting 50+ internal applications to a real-time status and alerting platform serving 500+ users. 🎯 My core stack includes React, TypeScript, Python (FastAPI), Java, Kubernetes, and cloud platforms like Azure and GCP. Recently, my work has focused heavily on AI tooling—integrating LLMs, building AI-assisted developer platforms, improving prompt workflows, and ensuring reliability, observability, and performance in production AI systems. 💡 I enjoy mentoring engineers, simplifying hard problems, and building systems that scale both technically and organizationally. 🌍 I’m open to relocation and excited to connect about backend, full-stack, or AI-focused roles. If you’re building developer platforms, AI-powered products, or high-impact systems, let’s talk.
