Sr. Software Engineer — AI, Data Engineering, and Full Stack Development
I'm a full-stack engineer with a passion for learning and building with modern technologies. I bring strong experience across backend systems using Python, Golang, and Rust, paired with solid frontend development in Angular, React, and Next.js. I deploy and scale services on AWS using DevOps tools such as Docker, GitHub Actions, Jenkins, Airflow, and ArgoCD.
My data expertise includes applied analytics for business intelligence, and hands-on AI development in areas like forecasting, computer vision, and natural language processing. I've worked with autoregressive large language models like LLaMA 2 and developed Retrieval-Augmented Generation systems using Pydantic AI and vector databases.
On the infrastructure side, I have led the setup and orchestration of scalable environments using Kubernetes and Terraform on AWS. I integrate external APIs, open-source platforms, and internal solutions into production-ready systems.
My academic foundation spans Physics Engineering, Industrial Engineering, and a Master of Engineering, complemented by post-graduate qualifications in Finance and Operations. This multidisciplinary background gives me the edge to align technical execution with strategic business outcomes.
Experience
With years of hands-on experience in software engineering, AI solutions, and cloud infrastructure, I've helped startups and enterprises transform their operations through smart, secure, and scalable technologies. From backend architecture to AI-powered platforms, I bring ideas to life with precision and impact.

South Commercial Cleaning provides cleaning services for homeowners, whole companies, offices, and post-construction sites. I was responsible for building and integrating all the technical systems required to manage, control, and optimize administrative processes, operations, and customer communication.
Angular
Built enterprise-grade internal operation tools with Angular's structured framework, ensuring maintainability for complex business workflows.
React
Developed customer service portals with React, enabling interactive real-time updates for service representatives.
Python
Created data processing microservices for ETL and analytics workloads using Python's scientific stack (Pandas, NumPy).
Rust
Implemented high-throughput pricing engines in Rusts.
Golang
Developed low-latency API gateways and service mesh components leveraging Go's native concurrency.
Kubernetes
Hybrid cluster deployment across on-prem servers and AWS, achieving 99.95% uptime for core services.
AWS
Utilized ECS for test environments, S3 for audit logs, and ECR as secondary container registry.
Cloudflare
Implemented zero-trust networking and DDoS protection for all customer-facing endpoints.
PyTorch and Scikit-Learn
Developed a machine learning model using PyTorch and Scikit-Learn to provide customers with instant price estimates based on input parameters, removing the need for phone calls or manual quotes.
PostgreSQL
Primary OLTP database with time-series partitioning for operational data.
Kafka
Real-time event streaming between microservices.
Redis
Used for high-speed caching and real-time event streaming between services.
These are additional works I've done in a short period of time. Each helped me gain hands-on experience, explore new technologies, and grow professionally across domains like AI, infrastructure, backend systems, and DevOps.
Frontend: Built modern UIs with React and Next.js.
Backend: Developed high-performance services in Golang and Python.
Infrastructure: Designed and maintained AWS-based architecture (ECS, ECR, S3, Lambda, SNS, and more), with CI/CD pipelines built using GitHub Actions. Created a custom CLI to streamline deployment and operations.
AI: Engineered an advanced RAG AI Agent using Pydantic AI, with vector-based retrieval leveraging PostgreSQL and MongoDB.
