High-performance backends. Decision engines. AI factories. Computer vision. Real-time systems. From UI/UX-heavy MVPs to full-stack platforms built for the traffic that comes after launch day, not just during it. Rust, C++, and 5+ languages.
100,000+ concurrent WebSocket connections -- in production. A 12-week roadmap shipped in 4.
30 senior engineers. Dedicated project teams, not rotating freelancers. Every engagement starts with a paid Discovery phase -- we scope the architecture before we write a line of code.
Not a fit: no-code workflows, or projects solvable with Zapier.
WHAT I BUILD
- High-Performance Backends: Production backends with actix-web, axum, and Tokio -- millions of requests/day, zero GC pauses. REST, GraphQL, WebSocket, and gRPC services for throughput and latency-sensitive workloads.
- Full-Stack Platforms: React, Next.js, TypeScript frontends with production backends -- SaaS, MVPs, and custom web applications from architecture to deployment. Designed for 1K to 100K concurrent users without a rewrite.
- Autonomous AI Agents: Agentic pipelines with OpenAI and Anthropic Claude -- lead qualification, data analysis, customer support running 24/7. Multi-step reasoning, error recovery, state persistence. 11+ projects for one client.
- Computer Vision: Object detection, tracking, real-time inference, OCR, document processing -- CUDA-optimized, deployed as production APIs or edge devices. Not Jupyter notebooks.
- Real-Time 3D & Visualization: WebGL and WebGPU rendering -- product configurators, data dashboards, architectural viewers at 60fps in-browser on mid-range hardware.
- Data Pipelines: Rust-native processing with Polars and DataFusion -- replacing Python/JavaScript bottlenecks. Kafka streaming, PostgreSQL persistence.
- Cloud & Infrastructure: AWS, GCP, Azure with Terraform and Kubernetes -- auto-scaling, zero-downtime deployments, infrastructure-as-code.
RECENT OUTCOMES
- Crypto trading platform dropping connections above 8,000 users. Rebuilt proxy in Rust, Tokio, Kubernetes -- 100,000 connections at under 10ms, zero crashes.
- GovTech blockchain payment router on Go. Rebuilt IAVL Tree in Rust -- 20–30% faster, Clutch-reviewed (Alex Kampa, AZKR Research).
- Recruitment team spending 4 hours daily on manual data entry. Built automated extraction and processing pipeline -- 95% reduction.
- Data analytics platform hitting memory limits in JavaScript. Replaced core with Rust and Polars -- 5x faster processing, 70% lower memory.
- Blockchain gaming 3D pipeline loading in 8+ seconds. Rebuilt within 4GB RAM budget -- 45% faster, Clutch-reviewed (Ruslan Varets).
TECHNOLOGIES
- Systems & Backend: Rust, C++, Python, TypeScript, actix-web, axum, Tokio, Node.js, WebAssembly
- Frontend: React, Next.js, TypeScript, Tauri, Dioxus
