/ About

Get to know me

I'm a software developer with a Computer Science background and a focus on backend system design and AI Engineering. In the past few years, I have built insightful projects to gain hands-on experience required for production architecture.

My work sits at the intersection of backend engineering,applied AI, and operational excellence. Whether it's designing a caching layer that cuts API costs by 87%, building a RAG pipeline that actually retrieves relevant context, or setting up CI/CD that catches regressions before prod. I build for the long haul.

Books that I am currently reading:

Designing Data-Intensive Applications by Martin Kleppmann
AI Engineering by Chip Huyen

Currently working on a TUI interface for Groundwork in Golang.

Let's build something together

Have a backend to scale or an AI workflow to ship? I'm open to freelance projects and full-time roles. Drop a message. I read everything.
