About Me

I'm a backend engineer with a passion for building scalable, production-ready systems. Currently working at SentientGeeks, I specialize in designing and implementing microservices architectures, developing AI-powered solutions, and optimizing system performance.

My technical journey spans from developing high-performance APIs with Go and Python to building machine learning pipelines and deploying cloud-native applications on AWS and Kubernetes. I believe in writing clean, maintainable code that solves real-world problems efficiently.

When I'm not engineering systems, you can find me exploring new technologies, contributing to open-source projects, or solving algorithmic challenges.
