• Lead by example: participate in live coding, drive technical best practices, and mentor an ambitious AI team.
• Own cloud deployment: scale and manage AI solutions on AWS, Azure, or GCP, ensuring security, reliability, and performance.
• Stay ahead: continuously experiment with new frameworks (Hugging Face, TensorFlow, PyTorch), and drive innovation across the stack.
• Champion agile, high-performance engineering delivering at speed, without sacrificing quality.

• 10+ years in full-stack development (React, Node.js, Python, PHP/Laravel, Django, Flask, FAST API)
