Senior SDE with 4+ years of combined industry experience (Former Oracle OCI SDE) and 1+ year entrepreneurial experience in RESTful APIs, full-stack web development, cloud-native architecture, and I led an AI-driven real estate prediction platform that integrates LLMS to enable natural language queries. In June 2025, I successfully earned two of AWS’s most demanding certifications:
AWS Certified Machine Learning – Specialty (Score: 906/1000)
AWS Certified Solutions Architect – Professional (Score: 917/1000)

My Journey
I'm a passionate full-stack developer with over 5 years of combined industry and entrepreneurial experience, and I genuinely enjoy building technology that feels thoughtful, reliable, and human-centered.
My work spans RESTful APIs, full-stack web development, and cloud-native architecture. I’ve led the design and development of an AI-driven real estate prediction platform that integrates large language models, allowing users to explore data through natural, conversational queries—because technology should adapt to people, not the other way around.
Technically, I work hands-on with Java, C++, and TypeScript, and I’m deeply experienced with AWS services including S3, Lambda, EC2, ECS, EKS, DynamoDB, SQS, SNS, EventBridge, and CloudWatch. I enjoy building scalable systems, mentoring through example, and bringing machine learning services from concept to production with care and precision.
At heart, I’m a builder and a problem-solver—with a strong foundation in computer vision, natural language processing, and secure cloud deployments—and I care deeply about creating systems that are not only powerful, but also trustworthy and well-designed.

Projects & Case Studies
A showcase of my recent work, from concept to deployment
ActiveAI-Driven RE Agent Chatbot
2025Designed and deployed a specialized AI Agent to automate the property matching process for clients. The agent acts as a 24/7 digital consultant, providing personalized property recommendations based on real-time inventory and individual client needs.
LiveReal Estate Agent Website
2024This project involved designing, developing, and deploying a full-featured real estate website optimized for market visibility, conversions, and ongoing lead generation.
ActiveN8N: Automated AI Video Generation
2025This project delivers a fully automated, production-ready pipeline for generating short-form AI videos and publishing them across major social media platforms. Using n8n as the orchestration layer, the system transforms raw creative prompts into edited videos with sound, metadata, and scheduled distribution—without manual intervention.
ProductionCRM IOS Application
2025A comprehensive CRM system with lead tracking, pipeline management, role-based authentication, and audit logging.
ProductionVoice to Text Platform
2025This project focused on designing and delivering a flexible, production-ready speech-to-text platform that allows users to dynamically select different AI models for voice transcription based on accuracy, latency, language support, and cost considerations.
