Software Engineer | ML/AI, Data Engineering & Distributed Systems Specialist

I'm an experienced engineer passionate about building high-performance systems, designing data architectures, and solving complex technical challenges. I love the entire spectrum of software engineering—from low-level systems programming to architecting scalable data platforms and creating intelligent agent systems.

I specialize in building production-grade systems at the intersection of machine learning, data engineering, and distributed computing. My work spans:

• Data Engineering & Architecture: Designing scalable data platforms, data lakes, data warehouses, ETL/ELT pipelines, and real-time streaming architectures
• AI/ML Infrastructure: Feature stores, recommender systems, LLM tooling, and scalable ML pipelines
• Agent Systems: Designing and building autonomous agents, multi-agent architectures, and intelligent automation
• Distributed Systems: High-performance data processing, cloud-native architectures, and microservices
• Systems Programming: Performance-critical applications in Go and C++

A scalable feature store built in Go for machine learning applications. Supports KNN search and efficient feature serving for ML models in production.

A constrained generation library for llama.cpp that prevents malformed outputs. Enables structured output generation (XML, JSON) from LLMs with guaranteed correctness.

A lightweight AI agent framework designed to work with minimal resources. Built in Go for efficient deployment in resource-constrained environments.

A recommender system using Keras LSTM that treats product purchases as time-series data. Demonstrates practical deep learning applications in e-commerce.

Encryption and hash library for Go, providing secure cryptographic primitives for distributed applications.
