## About

I build backend systems that don't just serve data — they reason over it\. I'm a Python backend engineer who got pulled into Generative AI early, and never looked back\. Over the past 2 years at iLink Digital, I've built enterprise\-grade APIs with FastAPI, secured them with role\-based and row\-level access control, and layered in Retrieval\-Augmented Generation pipelines using Azure OpenAI, LangGraph, and vector search — so the systems I build don't just store enterprise data, they help people find and use it intelligently\. A couple of things I'm proud of: I built an AI\-powered resume screening platform that cut manual screening effort by roughly 30% using embeddings and semantic candidate\-job matching\. I also designed and optimized the backend for iVault, a secure data access platform handling row\- and table\-level governance over data in Microsoft Fabric Lakehouse — and was recognized with a Rising Star Award for it\. My stack: Python, FastAPI, LangChain/LangGraph, Azure OpenAI, SQL Server, Docker, and Azure cloud services\. I'm comfortable across the SDLC — from API design and database work to deploying AI agents in production\. I'm actively looking for Python Backend Developer, Software Engineer, or AI/GenAI Engineering roles where I can keep building systems at the intersection of solid backend engineering and applied AI\. Open to a conversation — feel free to message me\.
