I build production AI systems that actually ship — multi-agent workflows, LLM pipelines, and the backend to run them reliably under load. Most "AI developers" stop at a prototype; I bring a decade of production engineering plus an MBA, so what I deliver holds up in production and ties to a business outcome you can measure. What I build for clients: • Multi-agent systems — orchestration layers that coordinate specialized agents to automate real workflows, not toy demos • LLM & RAG pipelines — retrieval, grounding, evaluation, and the guardrails that keep outputs reliable • AI-powered backends — Kotlin/Spring Boot and Next.js services, APIs, queues, and CDN delivery built to scale • End-to-end AI features integrated into existing products and data Background: 12+ years across enterprise platforms and ad-tech real-time bidding (high-throughput, low-latency systems), an MBA with Distinction from Bayes Business School, and current founder of an AI product company where I design and run the full stack myself. I work AI-native — an orchestrated multi-agent development setup — which means I move faster and ship more than a typical solo contractor. If you have a clearly scoped AI build and want it done right the first time, send me the details, and I'll tell you exactly how I'd approach it.

With over two decades of experience encompassing DevOps engineering and data engineering, I specialize in architecting robust infrastructure and optimizing data workflows to drive organizational success.

I'm a senior software engineer with around 9 years building production systems, now focused on AI. I build AI agents, RAG systems, and the backend that keeps them reliable in production, not just in a demo. Most "AI developers" can wire up a chatbot. I'm an engineer and solution architect who has shipped systems at real scale. So I handle the hard parts: keeping answers accurate and grounded, controlling token cost and latency, isolating data per tenant, and wiring AI into the tools a business already uses. What I build: AI agents, chat and voice, that answer, qualify, and take action RAG systems: chunking, embeddings, hybrid search, evaluation, and hallucination guardrails Real-time voice agents (streaming, low latency) Custom API and webhook integrations, and two-way syncs between systems Scalable backends: APIs, event-driven services, background workers, caching, observability My stack: Models: OpenAI, Claude, Llama, Amazon Bedrock AI: LangChain, LangGraph, Crew AI, MCP tool servers, vector databases (pgvector, Pinecone, and similar) Backend: Python, Node.js, REST and WebSocket APIs, PostgreSQL, event-driven (Kafka, queues), Docker, AWS and Azure I work with Claude Code and MCP daily I've delivered production systems across banking, telecom, aviation, and large enterprises, as a solution architect and team lead. So I care about clean architecture, predictable cost, and systems that hold under load. If you're building an AI product or backend and want it done right the first time, send me the details. I'll tell you honestly how I'd approach it.

Need a backend that won't fall over when real traffic hits? That's what I do. I build APIs, microservices, and PostgreSQL data layers in Java and Spring Boot — systems that handle auth, payments, and sensitive data without surprises. Most recently: an eGovernance platform serving 80+ government entities. Hand me and stop worrying about: REST APIs & backend services (Java / Spring Boot) Microservices & event-driven systems (Kafka) PostgreSQL — clean schema, fast queries Security built in from day one (I came up through cybersecurity) Need the full stack? I also ship with Next.js and React — live products in my portfolio below. 6+ years for government and enterprise clients. Clear communication, honest timelines. Message me with what you're building.
