About

With 10 years of experience as a software engineer, I specialize in designing and building high-performance, scalable systems. While backend development is my forte, I enjoy taking ownership of systems from start to finish, crafting well-structured APIs, architecting microservices, and developing intuitive UIs while ensuring everything works together smoothly.

Currently, I'm working as a Senior Web Application Developer at Media.net, a leading ad-tech company specializing in contextual advertising and monetization solutions. Here, I contribute to the entire project lifecycle, developing and building scalable systems that drive critical business solutions, with a focus on performance, reliability, and user experience.

I'm also expanding my expertise into artificial intelligence and machine learning, working with Large Language Models (LLMs) and Python to build AI-powered solutions. I'm actively exploring various AI products and frameworks, integrating them into applications to enhance functionality and deliver innovative experiences.
