About Me

Hi! I'm a Python developer with deep expertise in machine learning and LLM systems. Over 5+ years, I've progressed from junior developer to senior engineer, working directly with CTOs and CEOs of tech companies.

My specialization is building production-ready AI solutions: from architecture design to Kubernetes deployment. I can not only write code but also establish processes, set up CI/CD, and ensure system reliability.
