About

I am a Senior Backend & Data Engineer with 12+ years of experience building data-driven backend systems, automation services, data ingestion and data processing pipelines. I have a strong background in Python, Node.js, SQL, PHP, and cloud deployments, and I enjoy turning raw web data into structured, business-ready datasets that power analytics and AI applications.

I design, deploy, and operate production ML pipelines and AI-enabled systems on cloud infrastructure, and I work closely with stakeholders to translate data needs into robust solutions. I also write about web scraping, automation, and data extraction, sharing 440+ technical articles that help others implement reliable data pipelines.
