I am an AI & Data Engineer with 8+ years shipping end-to-end technical systems across financial services, telecom, and AI/automation. I build products that compress multi-hour manual workflows into minutes using LLMs, automation platforms, and data pipelines. I am comfortable across backend (Python, SQL, APIs), data (Power BI, Fabric, analytics), and frontend (React/Next.js familiarity). I am a commercial thinker who measures success by business outcomes — revenue growth, cost reduction, user impact — not just code shipped. I enjoy turning complex problems into repeatable, scalable solutions by collaborating with stakeholders and translating business needs into technical implementations. I’m passionate about data-driven decision-making and building products that create meaningful user impact.
