Senior Technical Architect
Engineering Leader — scalable, secure, cost-efficient data platforms, ML pipelines, and API ecosystems
About
I design and deliver enterprise-grade data and ML systems that are secure, resilient, and cost-efficient. With deep hands-on experience building and modernizing large-scale, production-critical architectures on AWS.
I operate at both the technical and strategic level: from coding complex Python services and training/deploying ML models, to defining cloud blueprints, driving cost reduction, and reporting to C-level stakeholders.
