I'm passionate about solving complex technical challenges and building systems that make a real difference. Whether it's developing a comprehensive backup solution with point-in-time recovery, architecting a multi-layered security framework, or integrating AI capabilities for intelligent data extraction – I thrive on turning ambitious ideas into robust, production-ready solutions.The most rewarding part of my work is seeing the impact: applications that streamline operations, improve user experiences, and drive business growth.
