About

Software Engineer with strong expertise in Python, SQL, AWS, GCP, Azure, REST APIs, Gen AI, and scalable backend architecture. I design and build secure, high-performance systems and full-stack web applications with a focus on cloud efficiency, automation, and reliability. My experience spans microservices, distributed systems, CI/CD, and modern web technologies.

As a Kaggle Grandmaster, I bring deep knowledge in AI, machine learning, and large-scale data processing, applying data-driven insights to build smarter and more efficient products. I excel at debugging complex issues, optimizing system performance, and delivering production-ready features in fast-paced engineering environments.

Known for ownership, collaboration, and a problem-solving mindset, I thrive in teams that value innovation, quality, and continuous improvement.

Open to opportunities in backend engineering, cloud engineering, full-stack development, platform engineering, and AI/ML-driven product teams.

Let's connect and explore how we can create innovative solutions to shape the future together.
