## About

I’m a Technical Consultant at Quinnox focused on backend engineering and modernizing complex business systems using C\#, \.NET, AWS, SQL and MongoDB\. Currently, I work on modernizing a legacy insurance rating engine, contributing across backend development, database migration, AWS workflows and performance optimization\. One of the systems I worked on reduced processing for \~100K insurance lives from 20\+ hours to approximately 15–20 minutes\. Beyond my professional work, I enjoy building ideas around AI, data and real\-world problems\. I’ve worked on ML\-based data projects, co\-developed a published patent application for an AI\-powered wardrobe recommendation system, and co\-authored a research paper on voice\-based access to government schemes\. I’m passionate about solving challenging problems, building products from ideas, and becoming the kind of engineer people can rely on when things get difficult\.
