Hey — thanks for dropping by 👋
Problem solver. Backend-first thinker. AI explorer.
I love solving problems — technical, architectural, ambiguous, messy — doesn’t matter.
Give me unclear requirements, production bugs, scaling issues, or a half-broken repo. I’ll break it down, systemize it, and ship something clean.
I built my foundation in Node.js and backend engineering.
Now I’m transitioning into building AI-powered systems — not just using APIs, but understanding how intelligent systems work end-to-end.
Open-source shaped my learning journey. I owe a lot to it — and I actively try to give back.

🔎 Actively looking for:
Node.js Developer | Backend Engineer | MERN Stack Developer | AI-focused Backend Roles -
📚 Transitioning toward:
AI Engineer (LLMs, RAG systems, applied ML, intelligent backend services)
- Design REST APIs with clean architecture principles
- Authentication (JWT, session strategies)
- Database design (MongoDB schemas, indexing strategy)
- Error handling & logging that actually helps debugging
- CI/CD + Dockerized deployments
- Writing code that another engineer won’t hate reading
- Building LLM-powered features
- Experimenting with RAG pipelines
- Prompt engineering with evaluation mindset
- Integrating AI into backend services (not just demos — usable features)
- Exploring model serving and inference workflows
- Understand the business impact first.
- Break the problem into smallest testable pieces.
- Build incrementally.
- Add logging + monitoring early.
- Refactor once clarity emerges.
I prefer simple, observable systems over clever but fragile ones.
- Someone who asks good questions before coding.
- Someone who reads documentation before blaming the framework.
- Someone who enjoys debugging more than complaining.
- Someone who wants to grow into building AI-native systems — not just CRUD apps.
I’ve learned more from open-source than from any course.
Reading real-world code, understanding tradeoffs, seeing how experienced engineers structure systems — that’s priceless.
I aim to contribute wherever I can and continue learning in public.

I don’t just want to build software.
I want to build systems that think, assist, and scale.
If you're building something meaningful — especially with AI in production — let's talk.
