Software Engineering Focus
My current work focuses on building practical, maintainable web applications using Laravel, Python, Flask, Astro, database-backed APIs, reusable components, and clean project structure.
Python, Laravel & AI/ML-focused
About Me
Building maintainable web applications with Laravel, Python, Django, Flask, Astro, and modern frontend technologies, while progressing towards AI/ML and data-focused software systems.
AI/ML Direction
I am progressively moving towards AI/ML and data-focused software systems while strengthening my foundation in Python, backend architecture, testing, and applied software engineering.
Research Profile
I maintain a separate research identity for academic and research work, including a dedicated research email, research GitHub profile, and ORCID record.
