I am a Software Engineer and AI Engineer focused on building production-ready backend and AI systems. I work at the intersection of scalable API design, LLM-powered workflows, and cloud-native infrastructure, with hands-on experience building agentic AI systems, RAG pipelines, and high-performance services using Python, FastAPI, LangChain, and LangGraph. I care about reliability, observability, and system design, building AI systems that hold up under real-world constraints, not just demos.
