About Me
Backend developer specializing in AI-driven systems, with a strong focus on agentic AI and intelligent automation. I work on building backend foundations that enable LLM integrations, multi-agent workflows, and decision-oriented systems aligned with current industry direction.
I’m a fast, adaptive learner who quickly picks up new concepts and evolving patterns in the AI space, especially around autonomous agents and orchestration logic. I enjoy turning complex ideas into clear, workable backend designs.
My approach is structured and systems-oriented. I focus on clarity, maintainability, and thoughtful decomposition of problems so AI capabilities fit naturally into robust backend architectures rather than existing as isolated features.
