Skills & Stack
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.
React · Next.js · Node.js · TypeScript · Django · Laravel · Tailwind CSS · Docker · CI/CD
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.
LLM Integration · RAG · AI Agents · LangGraph · MCP · Vercel AI · Event-driven · 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.
