Software Engineering

Full-stack with a frontend focus. I turn designs into responsive, event-driven interfaces and back them with modular auth, reusable components, and CI/CD pipelines.

AI & Automation

I wire LLMs into real products, like AI that parses resumes into structured, filterable data, and automate the busywork around them with agents, RAG, and webhooks.

Data & Analytics

Data-driven by default. I build ETL pipelines that process millions of records and turn them into Power BI dashboards and reporting that replace hours of manual work.
