About Me

I’m a Software Engineer with 3+ years of experience building scalable systems across logistics and SaaS industries. With a strong foundation in full-stack development (Node.js, React, Python) and cloud technologies (AWS Certified), I am currently specializing in cloud infrastructure and AI-driven solutions.

At Velogic, I developed mission-critical logistics software that streamlined operations and provided key financial insights, impacting over 90% of company workflows. My passion lies in designing robust, future-proof systems — combining software engineering, cloud architectures, and emerging AI technologies.

I thrive in dynamic environments, bring an ownership mindset to every project, and believe that learning and adaptability are the ultimate competitive edges. My next chapter is focused on building intelligent, cloud-native applications that solve real-world problems at scale.

Here are a few technologies I've been working with recently:
  • NodeJS
  • Python
  • Golang
  • AWS
  • Generative AI
  • Llama Index
