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 full-stack 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.

I value clean code, performance-driven development, and collaborative teamwork. I've contributed to agile teams, led technical reviews, and mentored junior developers across projects ranging from responsive web platforms to intelligent systems in NLP, computer vision, and reinforcement learning.
