About
With over 4 years of experience, I have transitioned from backend engineering into data platform engineering, focusing on delivering scalable AI and ML solutions across various domains. Proficient in Python, SQL, and a wide range of machine learning frameworks and libraries, I have built and deployed numerous AI-powered applications with significant business value. Strong software engineering fundamentals in Python, with hands-on experience building distributed, fault-tolerant data pipelines — architecturally the same distributed-systems thinking required for Spark/PySpark-based data platform workloads.
