As a passionate AI Software Engineer and Engineering Lead at Qodors Technologies, I bring 4.5+ years of hands-on experience in full-stack development, technical leadership, and AI engineering. I specialize in building scalable, high-performance applications and AI-powered solutions using Python, JavaScript, TypeScript, React.js, Next.js, Node.js, Express.js, and Generative AI — my current specialization, built on top of full-stack engineering rather than replacing it. My journey from developer to CTO and AI Engineering Lead includes leading 20+ live projects, managing cross-functional teams, and overseeing system architecture, code quality, CI/CD pipelines, and cloud infrastructure across AWS and DigitalOcean. As a Project Manager and Team Lead, I handle regular client communication, conduct requirement analysis and timeline estimation, plan sprints, manage juniors, and distribute tasks to ensure successful delivery, while building AI-powered solutions using LLMs, OpenAI, Gemini, RAG, prompt engineering, and workflow automation. My experience also includes reverse engineering and mentoring 15+ junior engineers and QA engineers, fostering a strong engineering culture and driving continuous improvement. Always eager to learn, I stay updated with the latest trends in web development and AI.
