I'm a Senior Full-Stack & Cloud Engineer with 8+ years of experience specializing in production AI on AWS, using TypeScript, Node.js, Python, and React. I architected a Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) platform on AWS Bedrock from scratch, powering live copilots and agentic workflows for enterprise events. I engineered a cross-region failover that cut throttling failures by ~68% under peak load, and drove a ~40% AWS cost reduction through serverless architecture and Infrastructure as Code. I've delivered solutions across live-events, fintech, e-commerce, and logistics, working fully remote across timezones. I own systems end to end — from cloud infrastructure to polished frontend — and move fast without sacrificing reliability.
