About

I'm a backend engineer at Amazon Prime Video, where I drive technical strategy for critical ML and GenAI systems that power catalog quality and organization across millions of titles.

My expertise lies in productionizing machine learning models, designing event-driven architectures, and building scalable data pipelines using AWS services. I thrive in ambiguous problem spaces and enjoy mentoring engineers to build robust, production-grade systems.

With a background in Chemistry, I bring scientific rigor and analytical thinking to engineering challenges—proving that problem-solving excellence transcends domains.
