I build production systems and ship them. 4+ years across event-driven pipelines, distributed architectures, and AI-integrated platforms. Currently at Mercedes-Benz — designing Kafka pipelines, building RAG-powered tooling, and deploying on cloud infrastructure. My trajectory: fullstack engineering → systems design → applied AI/ML infrastructure.
