I build production-grade Python backend and API systems for AI-driven and regulated environments. My background includes JPMorgan, Lockheed Martin, and IBM Cloud, where scalability, auditability, and operational correctness are mandatory — not optional.
I specialize in backend architecture and production AI integration, including:
• FastAPI and high-throughput API design
• LLM (Large Language Models) and RAG system integration
• ETL and Airflow-based data pipelines
• PostgreSQL, Redis, and vector databases
• Docker, CI/CD, and AWS production deployments
• Performance tuning, concurrency models, and observability
• Audit-ready workflows (SBOM, SLSA-aligned builds, deterministic orchestration)
I do not build prototypes that collapse under load. I design systems intended for reliable production — with clear service boundaries, infrastructure discipline, and scalability in mind.
I work best with founders and engineering teams who need to:
• Move an AI prototype into production
• Harden a backend for scale and fault tolerance
• Clean up fragile APIs or performance bottlenecks
• Introduce structured auditability into workflows
If you need a senior backend engineer to own the system architecture and deliver production-ready implementation, we should talk.

Hi! I'm a full-stack developer and system administrator who's passionate for the construction of effective, robust software, and the running and maintenance of online services. I have experience writing back-end software in a variety of programming languages like PHP and Go. I know how to do front-end development with HTML, CSS and JavaScript. I can work with WordPress, and have experience making fully-featured plugins from scratch. I know how to configure and maintain Linux servers and have experience with a variety of services like the Apache web-server and MariaDB. I hope you like building software systems as much as I do and that we can work together to make things happen!
I like solving problems with computers, especially when a simple piece of software can save someone time or effort. I’ve been working as a developer for about five years, across both small teams and larger, Fortune 50 companies; I'm comfortable jumping into new codebases and contributing.
I try to be easy to work with, communicate clearly, and not overcomplicate things.

Senior Full-Stack Engineer | React, Java/Spring Boot, Go, APIs, MongoDB, AI Workflows
I help businesses turn software ideas, broken systems, and stalled development work into production-ready applications.
I’m a senior software engineer with experience building and maintaining enterprise software for Fortune 100/Fortune 30 environments, including platforms involving React, TypeScript, Java/Spring Boot, Go, MongoDB, REST APIs, cloud services, integrations, automation, and AI-augmented workflows.
Clients usually come to me when they need someone who can step into complexity quickly, understand the business problem, and deliver clean, maintainable software without needing constant hand-holding.
What I can help with
* Full-stack web application development
* Backend API development with Java/Spring Boot, Go, Node.js, and REST
* React, TypeScript, Angular, and frontend component development
* MongoDB and SQL database design, queries, and data workflows
* SaaS MVP development and feature implementation
* API integrations, third-party services, and internal tools
* AI-assisted software workflows, automation, and productivity tooling
* Debugging, refactoring, performance improvement, and technical cleanup
* QA regression planning, test strategy, and release readiness
* Technical documentation, architecture planning, and backlog creation
Why work with me
I bring more than coding ability. I understand software delivery from both the engineering and business side. I can work from a rough idea, a Figma design, a backlog, an existing codebase, or a messy production issue and turn it into a clear execution plan.
I’ve worked across enterprise systems where reliability, maintainability, security, and clear communication matter. I’m comfortable collaborating with product managers, designers, QA teams, business stakeholders, and other engineers.
Common projects I’m a good fit for
* “We need an MVP built.”
* “Our current developer left, and we need someone to take over.”
* “Our React app needs new features or cleanup.”
* “We need backend APIs built or fixed.”
* “We need help integrating AI into our workflow.”
* “We need a technical person to turn requirements into tickets.”
* “We need production-level software, not just a prototype.”
## Tech stack
React, TypeScript, JavaScript, Angular, Java, Spring Boot, Go, Node.js, Express, MongoDB, SQL, REST APIs, Git, Docker, CI/CD, cloud services, API integrations, testing, automation, and AI-assisted development workflows.
If you need a reliable engineer who can understand the problem, communicate clearly, and move the project forward, send me a message, and I’ll help you map out the next step.
