I’m a passionate Full-Stack Software Engineer with hands-on experience across Java, Node.js, FastAPI, and cloud platforms like Azure and AWS. I specialize in building scalable web applications, crafting intuitive user experiences, and driving secure DevOps practices in both enterprise and community-driven projects. Currently, I am leading secure architecture design for IBM's hybrid cloud platform at Persistent Systems. Previously at Microsoft, I resolved critical Azure DevOps infrastructure challenges. I am deeply invested in Artificial Intelligence, exploring LLMs and NLP to build the next generation of smart applications.
