About Me
I’ve always been drawn to the systems and logic that make the web work. What started as curiosity turned into a career building reliable, scalable, and efficient backend solutions, with AI, automation, and SQL at the heart of my work. Over the past four years, I’ve developed APIs, optimized databases, deployed AI/ML models, and built full-stack applications where the backend does the heavy lifting. I focus on clean architecture, Agile workflows, and smart automation to turn complex ideas into solutions that actually make life easier.
- Build backend-first web & app solutions - integrating AI, automation, and solid architecture for long-term scalability.
- Create responsive full-stack experiences - smooth on any device, but always powered by strong backend logic.
- Engineer high-performance databases - optimized for speed, reliability, and future growth.
Beyond the Code I’m always learning - whether it’s new AI tools, backend frameworks, or deployment strategies. I enjoy working on complex, data-driven projects, simplifying workflows, and building systems that exceed expectations. For me, it’s not just about shipping features - it’s about creating solutions that work better, faster, and smarter.

Frequently Asked Questions
Have questions? Find answers to the most common queries about my services, process, and expertise.
What types of projects do you specialize in?
I focus on web and app development, AI/ML integrations, and automation systems. My work ranges from e-commerce platforms and hospital ERPs to blockchain-based solutions and AI-powered tools like resume rankers.
Do you only build from scratch, or can you improve existing projects?
Both. I enjoy creating solutions from the ground up, but I also step in to optimize, debug, or scale existing systems - whether that’s refactoring code, adding new features, or integrating modern frameworks.
What technologies do you use most often?
My toolbox includes Python, Django, Flask, Laravel, React, React Native, Tailwind, and Bootstrap. On the AI side, I often use frameworks like Hugging Face Transformers, Sentence-Transformers, and FastAPI for APIs.
How do you make sure the projects are scalable and secure?
I design with scalability in mind, using modular architectures, clean code, and cloud-ready deployment (Docker, AWS, Hugging Face, etc.). For security, I follow best practices like environment-based configs, secure authentication, and regular patching.
Do you work with teams or only solo?
I do both. I’ve collaborated with designers, product managers, and CTOs, but I’m also comfortable running projects independently from start to finish.
Can you customize your marketplace products for my business?
Yes. The marketplace offers ready-to-use solutions, but I also provide tailored versions — tweaking the design, adding custom features, or integrating with your existing systems.
How do you handle communication and project updates?
I keep it simple and transparent: regular check-ins, progress demos, and clear documentation. Most clients prefer email, WhatsApp, or Slack - but I adapt to whatever works best for you.
What is your typical project timeline?
It depends on scope. Small automations or websites may take 1–2 weeks, while larger apps like ERPs or blockchain platforms may take 1–2 months. I always share a roadmap with milestones upfront.
Do you provide ongoing support after project delivery?
Yes, I offer post-launch support, from bug fixes and updates to scaling advice. For marketplace products, I provide guides and can offer premium support if needed.
How do you approach pricing?
I keep pricing flexible: fixed rates for clear deliverables, or hourly for open-ended collaborations. Marketplace products come with transparent pricing, while custom projects depend on complexity and timelines.
