About Me
I'm a Junior Data Engineer and Computer Science student at Amirkabir University of Technology, focused on building backend APIs, data pipelines, and LLM-based automation systems. I enjoy turning messy data and complex problems into reliable, production-ready solutions using tools like Python, FastAPI, Docker, and OpenAI APIs.
Beyond academics, I'm inspired by movies, cooking, and fashion. I'm eager to keep growing both technically and personally as I move toward a career in AI infrastructure and applied machine learning.
