About Me

I'm a passionate ML and Backend Software Engineer with 1 year of experience building scalable backend systems and data pipelines. I love tackling complex distributed systems challenges and making ML models production-ready.

My expertise spans the full ML lifecycle from data pipelines and feature engineering to model training, deployment, and monitoring. I write about these topics on my blog and speak at conferences.

I'm currently based in Miami, Florida and I'm always open to discussing interesting MLOps challenges, distributed systems architecture, or new opportunities.
