I work across software engineering, machine learning, cloud infrastructure, monitoring, automation, and financial engineering. I like building practical systems that are useful, scalable, and grounded in real problems.

My interests usually sit around backend systems, AI products, infrastructure, observability, optimization, and finance-oriented tools.

Now
