Backend Engineer | Python & C++ | AI/ML Integration | Ex-intern @ Genesis

About

Backend + AI/ML engineer focused on building production-ready systems that solve real problems. Currently leading backend development at Genesis, where I design intelligent workflows for an AI-powered product discovery platform using Python and modern API architecture. Previously built CrossBench at Cognifyz — a C++ analytics engine that aggregates live AI model benchmark data into a unified interactive leaderboard using WinHTTP, nlohmann/json, Chart.js, and Tailwind. My core areas: ▸ Backend development & API design (Python, C++, FastAPI) ▸ AI/ML integration and LLM-powered decision workflows ▸ Data aggregation, parsing, and scalable processing systems ▸ Systems thinking — reliability, performance, and production deployment I care about the intersection of engineering and product: building systems that are technically sound, scalable, and genuinely useful for real users. Open to backend, AI/ML engineering, and full-stack opportunities.
