What I do

I specialize in Machine Learning engineering and AI-powered solutions. My expertise spans data classification, NLP, and computer vision, covering the entire lifecycle from initial storyboarding to final deployment. I primarily leverage agent-driven development within environments like Antigravity, Claude Code and OpenCode, frequently utilizing their SDKs to architect custom agentic systems. On the infrastructure side, I am proficient in deploying ML models, building robust servers via FastAPI, and managing large-scale data through Google BigQuery and GCP MLOps. My technical foundation is complemented by experience in UI/UX, Game Dev, and Full Stack development using the MERN stack, NestJS, and Django. This broad background allows me to navigate complex development cycles with ease. Additionally, I hold qualifications in marketing and business management, bringing a strategic, results-oriented perspective to every project.
