About Me

I'm a driven Full Stack Engineer with a passion for building innovative solutions that solve real-world problems. With 8 years of experience, I've successfully delivered organization-wide projects at leading companies like Capital One and CVS Health.

My expertise spans the entire technology stack—from backend microservices built using Java Spring and Python's FastAPI framework to modern frontend frameworks like React and NextJS. I hold a Master's degree in Computer Science from Georgia Tech (focused on AI/ML) and an AWS Solutions Architect certification.

I'm particularly passionate about:

  • Building scalable web applications and microservices using Java, Python & Typescript Frameworks.
  • AI/ML integration and intelligent systems using Vercel AI SDK, Python and NextJS.
  • Cloud-native architectures using cloud tools from AWS.
  • Full-stack development with modern frameworks such as NextJS.
  • Startup innovation and entrepreneurship.
