🧑💻 About Me
Senior Python/Django engineer with 20+ years and $600K+ on Upwork. Currently shipping on-prem LLM integration at Airbus Defence (VS-NfD cleared) and AI safety proxy code at Luthien Research.
I build AI systems with guardrails — not just features. My approach combines deep backend engineering (Django, FastAPI, Kubernetes) with practical AI safety: tool-call interception, policy enforcement, on-premises deployment, and human oversight controls. The same rigor required in safety-critical aerospace work, applied to AI integration.
What that looks like in practice:
- Airbus Defence (current): on-prem LLM gateway integration for code review and IDE assistance. Zero external data transmission. VS-NfD security clearance.
- Luthien Research (current): contributing to a FastAPI OpenAI-compatible proxy that intercepts and enforces safety policies on AI agent tool calls before execution. Shipped PRs on streaming disconnect handling, error sanitization, sensitive header filtering.
- Agent Zero (open source): guard system blocking dangerous tool calls; async event loop crash fix. Live AI safety controls, not theory.
- BestEx Research: reduced transaction cost report
🛠 Core Technical Competencies
Full-Stack Development
- Backend: Python (Django, Flask, FastAPI), RESTful APIs, GraphQL, OpenAPI
- Frontend: React, Angular, Next.js, HTMX, Modern JavaScript (ES6+)
- Real-time Systems: WebSocket integration, Pusher, live data streaming
- Mobile-First: Responsive design, progressive web apps
AI & Machine Learning
- LLM Integration (Claude, GPT, Custom Models)
- Vector Databases & RAG Architectures
- TensorFlow, Prompt Engineering, AI-powered Features
- AI Ethics & Responsible Deployment
- Certified: AI in Aerospace & Defence (Airbus, Nov 2025)
DevOps & Infrastructure
- Kubernetes (Multi-AZ, High-Availability)
- Docker, FluxCD, ArgoCD
- CI/CD Pipelines (Jenkins, GitLab CI, GitHub Actions)
- Infrastructure as Code (Terraform, Ansible)
Data & Databases
- PostgreSQL, Vector DBs, Elasticsearch, Redis, MariaDB
- ETL Pipelines, Big Data Processing
- Prometheus, Grafana, OpenTelemetry
Security & Quality
- VS-NfD Security Clearance (German Defense)
- Safety-Critical Systems Development
- GDPR/Data Protection Implementation
- Comprehensive Test Coverage (Pytest, Playwright)
🌟 Why Choose Me?
🚀 Full-Stack Expertise with Enterprise-Grade Quality
I build complete solutions from database to frontend, with the same rigor and attention to detail required in safety-critical systems. My recent work in aerospace defense reinforces practices that ensure your application is reliable, auditable, and secure—not just "working." When you need code that scales and endures, you need someone who builds for production from day one.
🤖 Practical AI Implementation, Not Just Theory
I've been integrating AI into production systems since before it was trendy. From TensorFlow classifiers processing satellite imagery for property valuation to LLM-powered SEO platforms, I focus on AI that delivers measurable business value—not proof-of-concepts that never ship. My recent AI certification reinforces responsible AI deployment in high-stakes environments.
🌍 Global Experience, Local Execution
Having worked across Italy, Switzerland, Australia, Rwanda, UK, USA, and Germany, I understand how to navigate different business cultures, regulatory environments, and technical ecosystems. This international perspective helps me design solutions that work globally while meeting local compliance requirements.
⚖️ Unique Interdisciplinary Edge
My Doctorate in Law (specialized in software patentability) provides a perspective most engineers lack: understanding the legal, ethical, and IP implications of technical decisions. This is particularly valuable for AI projects, data privacy implementations, and systems handling sensitive information.
💼 Technical Leadership & Agile Delivery
I don't just write code—I architect systems, lead technical teams, manage agile workflows, and deliver end-to-end solutions. Whether you need someone to build from scratch, rescue a troubled project, or optimize existing infrastructure, I've done it successfully dozens of times across diverse industries.
📊 Proven Track Record of Dramatic Improvements
- Reduced transaction cost report generation from 30 minutes to 30 seconds (BestEx Research)
- Achieved 99.99% uptime for multi-AZ Kubernetes infrastructure (EISST International)
- Built comprehensive test coverage from scratch for previously untested codebases (SEO Co-Pilot AI)
- Transformed legacy R code into modern Python, achieving 70% reduction in processing time
🎯 What I Deliver
Full-Stack Applications
- Django/Flask backends with modern React/Next.js frontends
- API-first architecture (REST, GraphQL)
- Real-time features and WebSocket integration
- Mobile-responsive, accessibility-compliant UIs
