AI-focused backend engineer. Building scalable systems and intelligent applications at the intersection of backend and ML.

Building at the edge
of backend & AI
I'm an AI-focused backend engineer with a passion for building scalable systems and intelligent, data-driven applications. My work spans API design, distributed systems, data analysis, and machine learning integration.
I work at the intersection of backend engineering and machine learning. From building speech-to-text models and data processing pipelines to designing secure systems. I'm drawn to challenges around performance, reliability, and leveraging data for intelligent decision-making.
