## 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\.
