About Me

I’m a Software Engineer and Artificial Intelligence Researcher with over 5 years of experience building scalable, efficient, and user-focused applications. My work spans across FullStack web development and cutting edge AI research, with strong proficiency in Python, JavaScript, TypeScript, and frameworks like React, Next.js, Node.js, PyTorch, and TensorFlow. Throughout my career, I’ve developed projects ranging from responsive web platforms to intelligent systems in NLP, computer vision, and reinforcement learning. I’m also well versed in RESTful API design, database management, and deploying cloud- based solutions on AWS and GCP. I value clean code, performance driven development, and collaborative teamwork. I’ve contributed to agile development teams, led technical reviews, and mentored junior developers.
