## Headline

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\.
