01 — About

Software engineering with a
systems mindset

I'm a Senior Software Engineer with 7+ years of professional experience across backend development, data extraction, workflow automation, APIs, cloud integrations and production software delivery.

At Arbisoft, I progressed from Data Analyst to Senior Software Engineer and Team Lead. I worked on products in healthcare, travel and data intelligence, building scalable scraping systems, Python processing pipelines, API integrations, CI/CD workflows and engineering automation.

My current growth path is focused on Python backend development, cloud-native systems, data engineering, machine learning, LLM applications and agentic AI. I also use AI-assisted development and modern "vibe coding" workflows to prototype, validate and ship ideas faster while keeping engineering quality and maintainability in focus.

I still bring strong automation and quality-engineering experience, but I position it as an engineering advantage rather than my main career identity. My target roles are software engineering, backend, cloud, data engineering and applied AI.
