Summary

AI engineer and Python developer with a background in data analytics and BI architecture. Recently shifted from data-focused roles into AI and backend application work, building Python services, APIs, and LLM-based workflows. That shift was supported by hands-on work in a large self-hosted homelab, where I run Linux infrastructure, Proxmox, containers, and local services.
