I Engineer self-healing, AI augmented data automation systems that eliminate manual workflows and scale seamlessly. By combining advanced Python backend architectures (FastAPI, Django) with Azure AI and OpenAI, I build intelligent pipelines that don't just move data they autonomously extract, classify, validate, and enrich it. One system. Runs infinitely. Zero manual intervention.
PROVEN IMPACT & CASE STUDIES
Enterprise Document Automation: Engineered an automated tax-compliance pipeline leveraging Azure AI Document Intelligence and Python, completely replacing 100% of manual tax form processing with a single-click AI verification system.
Mission-Critical Architectures: Designed and deployed a secure, end-to-end digital examination and data management platform for NASTP (National Aerospace Science & Technology Park), eliminating intensive manual administrative workflows.
E-Commerce Data Warehouse & Custom API Pipeline: Architected a robust, scalable multi-source data extraction pipeline utilizing advanced ETL methodologies to ingest, clean, and sync high-volume market data into performance-optimized databases.
CORE SPECIALTIES & HOW I DELIVER VALUE
AI-Augmented ETL/ELT Pipelines
Building resilient ingestion frameworks that use LLMs (OpenAI GPT-4o, Azure OpenAI) to process unstructured documents, PDFs, and raw text. Python structures the incoming data, Pydantic v2 strictly validates it, and PostgreSQL stores it securely.
Custom API Architectures & Data Warehousing
Developing high-performance, asynchronous REST APIs using FastAPI and Django. I integrate complex third-party webhooks, handle rate-limiting seamlessly, and model scalable relational databases backed by SQLAlchemy, Alembic migrations, and advanced SQL (CTEs, Window Functions).
Serverless Cloud Deployment
Deploying production-grade pipelines onto AWS (S3, Lambda, RDS) and Azure Blob Storage. Your systems run on fully automated schedules in the cloud without requiring manual infrastructure management.
Enterprise BI & Analytics Dashboards
Transforming raw, automated data warehouses into interactive, executive-level insights using Microsoft Power BI and custom Streamlit web applications.

I find the vulnerabilities in your web apps, APIs, and networks before attackers do, then hand your team a clear, reproducible penetration testing report they can act on.
GXPN and GCIH certified. Top Rated on Upwork with 100% Job Success across web application, API, and network security engagements.
No scanner dump and no jargon wall. Every finding comes with a severity rating (CVSS), working proof of concept, and a concrete fix your developers can ship.
What I test:
- Web application penetration testing (OWASP Top 10, PTES, NIST)
- API security testing (REST, GraphQL, auth/OAuth, IDOR, broken access control)
- SaaS and multi-tenant assessments (Supabase / Firebase data-isolation testing)
- Network and external perimeter penetration testing
- Source code / secure code review
How I work: authorized testing only, on systems you own or have permission to test. Everything is documented over Upwork so you get a written record of every finding, not a verbal hand-wave. I retest after you patch to confirm the holes are actually closed.
Credentials: GXPN (GIAC Advanced Penetration Tester & Exploit Researcher), GCIH (GIAC Certified Incident Handler), SANS CTF winner, and an active national/international CTF competitor (web, reverse, crypto, forensics).
I also handle WordPress malware removal and incident response. See my Project Catalog for a fixed-price option.
