About Me
I am a multidisciplinary Computer Engineering graduate with hands-on expertise across Backend Architecture, Data Engineering, AI, and Cybersecurity. I genuinely enjoy learning new things, and I thrive on mastering new technologies and concepts quickly. Approaching complex problems with system-level architectural thinking feels natural to me, seamlessly bridging the gap between low-level hardware performance and enterprise-scale deployments.
My main focus is full stack software development and data engineering. I architect scalable microservices with Java, Spring Boot, and Spring Cloud, connect them to dynamic frontends with React and Next.js, and containerize everything with Docker. In the data space, I engineer centralized ETL pipelines in Microsoft Fabric processing hundreds of thousands of rows, and I design interactive Power BI dashboards to transform unstructured datasets into actionable business insights.
Outside of traditional backend development, I actively advance my knowledge in Generative AI, Computer Vision, and NLP. I have co-authored published research on Transformer LLMs achieving state-of-the-art accuracy, optimized diffusion pipelines for massive inference speedups, and conducted malware analysis in isolated cybersecurity lab environments. These diverse areas keep me curious and feed back into how I think about building secure, intelligent, and well-architected systems.
