Full-Stack Engineer | Backend Specialist | ML Engineer

I build production-grade systems that scale. My code doesn't just work... it's architected for performance, maintainability, and real-world impact.

I'm obsessed with the details that separate prototypes from production systems. Whether it's optimizing database schemas, building modular API architectures, or deploying ML models at scale, I think deeply about how systems perform under real conditions.

Backend-first thinking: I start with data models, API contracts, and system architecture before touching the frontend. Clean separation of concerns isn't optional... it's how you build systems that last.

ML in production: I don't just train models... I ship them. Inference pipelines, batch processing, error handling, and performance optimization for real-time computer vision and time-series classification.

The intersection of elegant architecture and measurable impact. I'm fascinated by:

• How the right database schema transforms query performance
• Why proper separation of concerns makes codebases maintainable at scale
• How thoughtful error handling turns prototypes into production systems
• The challenge of deploying ML models that work reliably in the real world
