Turning Complex Problems into Elegant Solutions

I specialize in solving mission-critical technical challenges, including high-throughput payment processing, real-time delivery routing optimization, and resilient data distribution across distributed systems.

As a Tech Lead at appliance.io, I lead a cross-functional team of 12 developers and 9 product members, aligning product vision with technical execution. I'm passionate about leveraging AWS infrastructure and DevOps best practices to build stable, scalable platforms that drive business growth.

Beyond technical leadership, I'm deeply invested in AI/ML integration, including RAG implementations and AI agent development for business automation.
