About

I'm a backend-focused software engineer with 5+ years of experience designing and building scalable, real-time systems, including high-load services handling over 500 requests per second. I'm proficient in Go and Python, and I’ve worked extensively with tools like Docker, Kubernetes, Kafka, Redis, and PostgreSQL. I also hold a Master’s degree in Artificial Intelligence and have a Q1 publication in the Results in Engineering journal. My academic and practical experience spans image processing, machine learning, and deep learning. I enjoy solving complex problems and building systems that are both efficient and reliable.
