What I'm looking for

I'm looking for opportunities where my code solves real problems. Whether it's a FastAPI backend, an ML pipeline, or a full product build — I bring both technical depth and a builder's mindset. Ranked 11th globally in Google Code-in, I've been building things people actually use since college. I'm open to backend, AI/ML, and full stack projects. Remote-first, async-friendly, and serious about quality.
