• Skilled in asynchronous API design, containerization, and modern CI/CD workflows (FastAPI, Docker, Kubernetes, GitHub/Bitbucket).
• Excellent EDA skills with the ability to translate data insights into production-ready ML solutions.
• Comfortable working with LLM ambiguity, designing systems that fail gracefully and learn continuously.
• Proactive, independent, and curious—able to own complex features end-to-end and raise the technical bar for the team.
