Areas of Focus

Applied AI / ML

I build AI features end-to-end: data pipelines, model training/fine-tuning, evaluation, and production inference (PyTorch, TensorRT, SAM, YOLO).

Backend & APIs

Scalable services with clean architecture—FastAPI/Node.js, microservices, caching/indexing, observability, and performance tuning for real traffic.

Deployment & Cloud

Dockerized deployments on AWS, real-time analytics dashboards, and production workflows that scale (SageMaker, CI-friendly setups, reproducible experiments).
