About
Software engineering across product, infrastructure, and AI
I'm a software engineer with professional experience building scalable React.js and Next.js applications, full-stack systems, WordPress platforms, and production DevOps workflows.
At Wappzo Infotech I progressed from intern to Trainee and Associate Engineer, building reusable React.js interfaces, REST API integrations, and 3+ custom WordPress plugins with multilingual, LMS, polling, and OAuth capabilities.
I also work hands-on with DevOps and AI engineering, including CI/CD, Docker, Cloudflare, Retrieval-Augmented Generation, local LLMs, and vector embeddings, with hands-on experience running local models and building automated data pipelines.
