I’m an engineer with 3+ years of experience building and validating reliable software systems, with strengths in quality engineering, Java automation, API testing, and system-level/firmware validation. I’ve worked in environments where correctness and stability matter using rigorous testing strategies, clear debugging, and strong attention to detail.
Recently, I’ve expanded into data engineering and machine learning, working across the pipeline from data ingestion and preprocessing to model training, evaluation, and deployment. I’m especially interested in production ready ML systems that pair scalable data pipelines with well measured model performance, particularly in cloud and healthcare contexts. I bring an analytical mindset, a focus on reliability and reproducibility, and a drive to ship systems that work in the real world.
