I’m a full-stack engineer with 5+ years of experience building production-ready applications using Python (Django, FastAPI), React front ends, and AWS. I’ve worked across backend orchestration, performance optimization, and frontend UX—delivering scalable systems that handle real-world workloads reliably. I also enjoy exploring applied AI and LLM solutions, especially RAG and agentic approaches, to enhance product capabilities. Outside of formal work, I build personal AI projects in the legal domain, turning unstructured documents into searchable, helpful experiences while continuously learning new frameworks and best practices.
