Technical Focus

// backend systems & data

Engineer scalable, type-safe APIs and data models optimized for reliability and performance. Experience with Prisma ORM, PostgreSQL, and API design patterns (auth flows, rate-limits, caching). Strong understanding of systems architecture and asynchronous execution for responsive backend services.

// applied AI & data processing

Leverage machine learning fundamentals and data pipelines to improve decision-making in applications. Work with Python + scikit-learn for model prototyping and TypeScript/Next.js for real-time data integration.

// embedded & systems programming

Apply hardware-aware programming and resource optimization techniques for low-latency control systems. Blend C/C++ fundamentals with modern data-driven software engineering principles.
