Lead technical strategy, from requirements gathering to implementation, including API design (REST/gRPC), database optimization (SQL/NoSQL), and performance tuning.
Mentor senior developers, conduct code/design reviews, and champion best practices like TDD, CI/CD, and agile methodologies.
Collaborate with product and engineering leaders to align AI-first solutions with business goals, while adopting tools like Azure Cognitive Services or cloud ML frameworks.

Proven track record building enterprise-grade, AI-augmented platforms; experience with ML/big data (e.g., TensorFlow, PyTorch), cloud (AWS/Azure/GCP), and distributed systems.
Strong skills in modern stacks: React/TypeScript for front-end, Postgres/MongoDB for data, and AI tools like Claude/Cursor for coding acceleration.
