Senior Backend Java Engineer and AI Developer with 7+ years of production experience, 8,800+ hours on Upwork, $300K+ earned, and a 100% Job Success Score (Top Rated Plus). I build web platforms, backend systems, and AI integrations โ€” my own delivery is Python-first (LLM-powered agents, RAG pipelines, distributed REST APIs, data extraction systems, and cloud-native infrastructure on AWS), and for Java or Spring Boot engagements I lead, my engineering team brings deep Spring Boot, microservices, AWS architecture, and Auth0/OAuth 2.0 identity experience to the JVM side. Every engagement ends with a system that runs in production โ€” properly architected, monitored, and ready to grow with the business. Technical stack that I can provide for your project: โ˜• Java & Spring Boot Engineering (team-backed): Spring Boot microservices and REST/GraphQL/gRPC services, Java 21 upgrades, and Play Framework โ†’ Spring Boot migrations. Auth0-based identity with multiple OAuth 2.0 grant types (Authorization Code, Device, Password, Passwordless), SSO, JWT, and biometric authentication across 15+ international markets. Full AWS backend architectures provisioned from scratch via Terraform (API Gateway, ECS, Lambda, RDS, DynamoDB, S3, CloudFront, Route 53, IAM, SQS, SNS, EventBridge, CloudWatch), CI/CD with GitLab, Jenkins (Groovy), and BitBucket Pipelines, Hibernate, JPA, JUnit, Mockito, Testcontainers, Maven, Gradle, SonarQube, Veracode. ๐Ÿค– AI & LLM Development: I build LLM agents with multi-turn state using LangChain and LangGraph โ€” the kind that run in production on Telegram, Discord, and WhatsApp. For knowledge retrieval I work with RAG pipelines backed by Qdrant and LLaMA-Index, with real semantic search over internal documents. Prompt engineering is a proper workflow here โ€” evaluation frameworks, LangSmith observability, structured output validation. I integrate agentic workflows through API (OpenAI, Claude, Anthropic, Gemini) with full output control. โ˜๏ธ Cloud & Infrastructure: I work with the full AWS stack in production โ€” S3, SQS, Lambda, Athena, DynamoDB, EKS, Kinesis, Bedrock, CloudFront, also Docker, Kubernetes (Helm + ArgoCD), and Terraform for reproducible infrastructure as code. Observability built in Datadog APM, OpenTelemetry, Sentry, and vector database management with Qdrant and AWS OpenSearch for semantic search and RAG retrieval. ๐Ÿงญ When you choose me, you get a clear roadmap: - Consultation โ€” I start by understanding your request, goals, and constraints before we start - Honest scoping โ€” based on your needs I give you a real estimate with clear timelines - Full transparency โ€” Agile workflow, regular meetings, and open communication at every step of the process - Clean delivery โ€” proper documentation and handoff, so you truly own what I build - Support from idea to launch โ€” I stay in contact after delivery, and stay involved as long as you needed ๐Ÿ“ฉ Ready to get started? Contact me โ€” I respond fast.
