Summary

Experienced in Cloud Architecture, Backend Development, and Frontend Engineering, I specialize in designing and optimizing scalable, high-performance applications. With 5+ years of hands-on experience, I have deep expertise in AWS services, distributed systems, and modern web technologies and hands-on practice with GenAI/ML.

  • Cloud & Infrastructure – Architecting and optimizing cloud solutions using AWS (AWS CDK TypeScript), with a strong focus on security, reliability, and cost efficiency.
  • Backend Engineering – Building robust, scalable, and efficient APIs using Go, GraphQL, and REST, ensuring high performance and maintainability.
  • Frontend Development – Crafting seamless user experiences with Angular, TypeScript, and RxJS, delivering clean, efficient, and intuitive applications.
  • GenAI & ML – Gained practical experience with Amazon Bedrock and SageMaker, working on RAG pipelines, configuring embeddings, using vector databases, and exploring multiple AWS ML services to bridge AI concepts with real-world solutions.

Holding AWS Certified Solutions Architect – Associate, Developer – Associate, AI Practitioner, and Cloud Practitioner certifications, I’m passionate about efficiency, automation, and solving complex challenges. Constantly learning, improving, and pushing the boundaries of what’s possible in cloud and software development and AI.
