About

AI & Backend Engineer with 6+ years of experience building production AI applications and scalable backend systems. I specialize in LLM-powered applications, RAG and GraphRAG systems, agentic workflows, knowledge graphs, and Python backend development. My experience includes designing AI pipelines, retrieval systems, structured extraction, prompt engineering, evaluation, and high-performance backend services using FastAPI, Django, Neo4j, PostgreSQL, Redis, Docker, and cloud infrastructure. I enjoy solving complex engineering problems where AI, backend architecture, and software engineering intersect.
