00 / PROFILE

Systems thinker,
hands-on builder.

I build software the way good infrastructure gets built — deliberate, automated, and built to last. Over a decade across fintech, healthcare, compliance and government, I've shipped real-time fraud detection, self-hosted RAG chatbot platforms, ERPs, and cloud PaaS — from first commit to production scale.

Today I lead cross-functional teams as an Engineering Manager, spearheading AI-driven innovation, vector-powered search, and orchestration pipelines with LangChain, OpenAI, Qdrant, Kubernetes and FastAPI. A strong believer in clean architecture, CI/CD, and developer-first design.

Always eager to explore frontier technologies, push boundaries, and solve problems that matter.
