About Me

Senior AI Systems Engineer & Full-Stack Web Developer with extensive experience designing and deploying production-ready AI platforms and modern web applications. Expert in Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) systems, LLM-powered workflows, and AI-driven solutions.

Skilled at bridging AI research with practical engineering to deliver end-to-end systems, from backend APIs and vector databases to React/Next.js frontends. With a strong foundation in full-stack web development, I've built interactive dashboards, real-time data visualization tools, and scalable web applications using modern technologies like React, Node.js, and TypeScript.

Adept at driving impact in fast-paced startup environments through scalable, maintainable, and user-focused solutions. I'm comfortable owning projects end-to-end, from architecture to deployment, and continuously learning about modern AI tooling and system design patterns.
