I am a highly analytical AI Engineer specializing in Generative AI, LLMs, and Deep Learning. My background combines over 1.5 years of intensive, hands-on training in AI with previous multiyear experience in Strategic Consulting, Banking, and Asset Management. I'm driven by a passion for solving complex problems and participating in the wave that will define the next generation of technology.

My current focus is on designing, developing, and deploying scalable AI solutions. I have expert proficiency in Python and leading deep learning frameworks like LangChain, PyTorch, and TensorFlow, and I'm committed to building production-ready systems grounded in performance and data best practices.
