About

As a Tech Lead and Full Stack Engineer (Backend-Focused) with 7+ years of experience architecting scalable systems, I drive the complete lifecycle from requirement gathering and MVP development to cloud deployment and monitoring. Communicating directly with clients, I build complex software solutions and AI-based systems. Backed by AI/ML research, I integrate AI capabilities, build AI-native products, and leverage AI-assisted coding. I am skilled in leading teams, mentoring, and applying deep expertise across Backend, Native Android, and DevOps to drive business growth.
