About

I am a data scientist and software engineer based in Montreal with hands-on experience across web application development, systems engineering, AI research, machine learning, and cloud-based service delivery. I previously served as a Graduate Research Assistant at Ericsson Canada, contributing to energy-efficient 5G deployments and AI-powered optimization of data plane functions. I excel in Python and C#, and bring practical experience with AWS services including Lambda, API Gateway, and EC2. I work with serverless architectures, microservices, infrastructure as code, and containerized deployments using Docker and Kubernetes. I am passionate about bridging research and production through MLops and applied AI to deliver scalable, reliable solutions.
