Gauntlet AI C3 Champion | Full Stack Developer building AI-powered, cloud-native applications with a focus on performance, scalability, and great user experience.
About Me
Hello! I'm a Gauntlet AI C3 Champion and Full Stack Developer who builds AI-powered, cloud-native web applications that scale. I recently completed an intensive 10-week Gauntlet AI program where I built 10+ production-ready AI projects, mastering cutting-edge technologies in machine learning, LLMs, and AI-driven development.
I specialize in React, Next.js, Node.js, and Java Spring Boot — with deep experience in CI/CD, containerization, and cloud platforms like AWS and Azure. Over the past 5+ years, I've built solutions ranging from internal tools to enterprise platforms, always prioritizing clean architecture, automation, and a great user experience.
Outside of work, I enjoy hiking, science fiction, and exploring emerging technologies like AI, observability, and cloud security. I thrive in continuous learning environments and love solving meaningful engineering challenges.
