About Me

Full-Stack Developer and AI Engineer with experience building production systems across the stack — from Next.js frontends to Django APIs to LLM-powered pipelines with LangChain and LangGraph.

I'm an A2SV fellow (top 1% of applicants, Google-backed), solved 600+ problems on LeetCode, and hold a BSc in Software Engineering with a 3.63 GPA and Presidential Award.

Currently building medical document processing APIs and AI pipelines at Hydrus.ai. Previously cut LLM costs by 67% at Fluid AI and led frontend development at Eskalate.
