};AI Full-Stack Engineer building intelligent systems at the intersection of machine learning, web technologies, and IoT. I architect production AI solutions at Romega Solutions—from RAG-powered chatbots to automated workflows—while leading development of award-winning biometric applications. My work spans designing ML recommendation engines, deploying scalable full-stack platforms, and engineering real-time data processing systems.
Currently bridging software engineering with data science through DataCamp's scholarship program, I'm passionate about creating solutions that combine clean architecture with cutting-edge AI capabilities. Whether it's building WearOS companions that adapt music to your heartbeat or automating university workflows with intelligent agents, I focus on making technology that genuinely enhances human experience.
