About Me

I’m a seasoned software developer and AI enthusiast with a Master’s in AI. My passion lies in crafting solutions that merge technology with real-world challenges. With a strong foundation in Full-stack development (4+ years), NLP Engineering (2+ years), and recent experience leading technical initiatives as a Senior Full Stack Developer, I’ve honed my skills across a broad range of software development areas.

In my most recent work experience, I single-handedly implemented a web application using Django and React, and gained hands-on experience with AWS. I utilized Docker to create EC2 instances to serve our app and used the S3 instance to build our website. As the sole member of the software team initially, I wore multiple hats and later mentored interns, guiding them to benefit both themselves and the company. I also established daily standups and managed tasks using Jira, drawing on my previous experience with Scrum.

My projects showcase my dedication to AI and ML:
  • Applied Machine Learning: I’ve actively engaged in projects demonstrating my enthusiasm for applying ML techniques. Notable among these are endeavors focused on object detection and image style transfer using state-of-the-art ML methodologies.
  • NLP Advancements: My professional journey includes pivotal roles in projects such as creating and enhancing models of voice assistant systems tailored for diverse industries.
  • Full-stack Development: I’ve created Python/Django applications, end-to-end dashboards using Django and JQuery, and implemented a web application using Django and React.
  • Could and DevOps: In my recent role, I gained hands-on experience with AWS, Docker, and Jira, which I used to manage and deploy applications.

If you’re seeking a dedicated and skilled software professional with a robust background in Full-stack development, AI, and leadership roles, I invite you to connect with me. Together, let’s explore the myriad of exciting opportunities that lie ahead.

Below are some of my skills, and I'm always looking to learn more:
