Leadership & Technical Expertise
I mentor junior developers and hire engineering talent while maintaining ownership of user-facing systems including API latency, uptime, and scale optimization. My technical stack includes server-side technologies like Python (Expert), Node.js (Expert), Java, Spring, NestJS, and cloud technologies across AWS EC2, Lambdas, ECS, ECR, S3, and more.
Current Focus
I'm currently exploring Large Language Models (LLMs) and how they can be integrated into everyday workflows to enhance productivity and create new possibilities. I'm passionate about staying at the forefront of technology and continuously expanding my knowledge and skills.
Personal Interests
Outside of coding, I enjoy going for long drives to explore new places and staying fit by regularly hitting the gym. I believe in maintaining a healthy work-life balance and finding time for activities that bring joy and relaxation.
