About Me

I am a Machine Learning Engineer with a strong full-stack foundation. With 4+ years of production experience designing scalable web systems, I am leveraging my expertise in distributed architectures and data pipelines to productionize deep learning models and AI-driven applications.

Having completed the Deep Learning Specialization (DeepLearning.AI) and the Deep Learning Nanodegree (Udacity), and currently pursuing an MSc in Computer Science, I continuously seek to deepen my theoretical foundation in AI while maintaining my practical engineering skills.
