I am a software engineer with a passion for building scalable, cloud-native applications. I design and develop full-stack solutions using Java, Python, React.js, and Spring Boot, delivering value across AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud. I enjoy turning complex requirements into robust microservices, REST/GraphQL APIs, and event-driven workloads with Kafka and RabbitMQ, all while leveraging Docker and Kubernetes for reliable deployments. I also explore AI/ML integration to automate workflows and enhance product capabilities, using TensorFlow, Scikit-learn, and OpenCV along with LLM APIs from OpenAI and Hugging Face. I thrive in collaborative teams, advocate for automated testing and secure CI/CD practices, and continuously look for ways to improve performance and developer productivity.
