Full-stack product engineer building production software end-to-end—from concept to deployment. I design and build secure web applications using Python (FastAPI/Django), TypeScript/React, and PostgreSQL, with ownership across backend architecture, API design, frontend development, CI/CD, cloud deployment and long-term maintenance. I also enjoy engineering AI-assisted document processing pipelines (OCR and LLM integrations) and building modern developer workflows. My focus is on keeping codebases maintainable, performant, secure, and easy to evolve.
