Summary

I am a seasoned IT professional with over 16 years of experience, excelling in automation testing, customer support, production support, and cloud/AI solutions. My expertise spans across web applications, APIs, and cloud solutions, with a strong focus on Azure AI and Generative AI technologies.

I have extensive experience in automation testing using C#, Python, and Azure DevOps, with a focus on delivering high-quality software through end-to-end test automation, integration testing, and code reviews.

I am skilled in designing and deploying Azure AI solutions, with hands-on expertise in machine learning and AI systems. My recent work includes comprehensive POCs and demos that showcase the integration of Azure Cognitive Services, Azure Machine Learning, and Generative AI into practical business solutions. I’ve also demonstrated advanced prompt engineering with tools like ChatGPT, Gemini, and Merlin, while utilizing Infrastructure as Code (IaC) with Terraform and Python.
