About
Backend systems that scale.
I'm a Backend Engineer and AI student focused on building scalable systems that turn ideas into reliable products, with hands-on experience in multi-tenant SaaS architecture and applied machine learning.
My work spans Backend Engineering, Multi-Tenant SaaS, Computer Vision, and NLP, with a particular interest in designing clean, efficient systems, optimizing performance under real-world load, and taking concepts from theory to working implementations.
I've worked on projects involving Django and FastAPI backends, tenant-aware data architecture, Celery and Redis-based async pipelines, YOLOv8 defect detection, ASL recognition with CNNs, and NLP models built from scratch in NumPy, while continuing to build my foundations in the math behind modern AI.
I'm especially interested in reinforcement learning, sim-to-real transfer, and the intersection of production-grade software engineering with intelligent systems.
