Passionate software engineer with love for clean code, security, and solving complex problems. I specialize in backend development with a strong focus on .NET and C#, but I’m also comfortable working across the full stack, with hands-on experience in frontend technologies like Angular.
I thrive when working with data — whether it's designing and optimizing databases, building seamless integrations with tools like Apache Kafka, or exploring real-time data streams. I also work with AI-driven solutions, including Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) systems, large language model integrations, vector search and intelligent data pipelines. I design and build end-to-end AI architectures that connect enterprise data sources with modern LLM-powered applications.
I’m deeply interested in cybersecurity and love exploring how AI can enhance development and decision-making. In my free time, I enjoy experimenting with IoT devices and staying on top of emerging tech.
Always learning, always building.
