About

I’m an AI & Software Engineer with a strong foundation in backend and data engineering, currently working as an Associate AI Engineer at Degreed. Over the past 6+ years, I’ve built and scaled data-driven systems across healthcare and enterprise platforms. My experience includes designing robust ETL pipelines, improving data accessibility and quality, and automating large-scale data workflows using tools like Apache Spark—often delivering measurable improvements in reliability, efficiency, and usability. At PointCross Life Sciences, I progressed from Software Engineer to Senior Software Engineer, where I worked closely with cross-functional teams to translate complex data requirements into clean, well-structured systems. This role strengthened my ability to think end-to-end—from data ingestion and normalization to downstream consumption. I’m currently focused on building AI-powered systems that are production-ready, combining machine learning with strong data pipelines, backend design, and real-world constraints. I enjoy working at the intersection of data, AI, and product needs. I enjoy exchanging ideas with engineers and practitioners working on data and AI systems—always happy to connect, learn, and share experiences.
