I started programming as a kid and it’s been more than 20 years now. My first language was Pascal, then C/C++ and then I moved on to interpreted languages, like PHP or Python. My professional career in web programming began back in 2011: since then I have delivered dozens of web applications in PHP (Symfony, Laravel) and Python (Django), among others.
I treat my experience as a responsibility: I know what works and what doesn’t and I can judge the consequences of many technological choices - that’s why I am always honest and realistic with my clients, offer my advice, and if necessary, try to dissuade them from solutions that might not work as they have envisioned.
My main focus is on code quality and practicality. My ambition is to write reliable, fast, easy-to-modify code that can be written in a relatively short time. I always seek a balance between perfection and practicality in my coding (since the road to perfection is infinite and time until the deadline is not). I am a strong proponent of code that can be documented only by its contents and unit tests.
I am also a fast learner. I don’t treat any framework as anything more than another tool made for convenience. When the need arises, I can learn most programming libraries and frameworks on the spot (as long as it's in a programming language I know). I always enjoy a new challenge!
My technical expertise covers:
- Databases: PostgreSQL, MySQL, SQLite, Oracle, MongoDB
- VCS: Git, SVN, Mercurial
- Issue trackers: Jira, Asana, Redmine, Trello, Harvest
- Hosting: AWS, Linode, CPANEL/WHM, GoDaddy, Github Pages
- Server OSes and tools: GNU/Linux (experience with most of popular distributions), Kubernetes (minikube, EKS), AWS Lambda, Apache2, Nginx (php-fpm and uwsgi), Ansible
- Code quality: PHPUnit, Python unittest (also in conjunction with Django), pytest
- Search: ElasticSearch, Solr
- REST API development: experience in Django (REST Framework), FastAPI, Symfony, Laravel, and Node.js
- 3D graphics programming: OpenGL in JS WebGL, C/C++ OpenGL libraries and PyOpenGL+pygame in Python
- Others: Websockets (experience with implementation in Django, FastApi, Python in Lambda, Laravel and Ratchet).
- Payment gateway integration: Paypal, Stripe, Braintree, Przelewy24
My technology stack:
Backend:
- PHP: Laravel, Symfony
- Python: Django, FastApi
- JS: Node.js
Frontend: HTML, JavaScript, TypeScript, React, Angular.io and Angular.js, Vue.js, jQuery, Three.js, CSS, SASS, LESS, Tailwind, Bootstrap, AdminLTE
Mobile technologies: React Native

Most RAG applications never go beyond an MVP or a prototype. There's a reason for that: they are not architected or built with production-grade capabilities in mind.
As a result, these MVPs:
• Produce inaccurate results, such as hallucinations and biases
• Are insecure, vulnerable to DDoS attacks, prompt injection, cascading failures, and other risks
• Are highly expensive in terms of token usage
If your next goal is to build a MVP, build it with production capabilities in mind from the start. The transition from MVP to full production will then be low-friction and straightforward.
If you're ready to build a production-ready application right away, make sure it includes all the necessary capabilities to avoid unnecessary money spent and wasted effort.
I am a software engineer with more than 10 years of experience developing production-grade data pipelines, search applications, and RAG systems. I have successfully delivered numerous RAG and Agentic RAG projects with true production-grade capabilities .
What I Provide:
Production-grade architecture and rapid development of RAG applications, including Agentic RAG systems, that are able to:
• Accurately parse, chunk and ingest millions of documents
• Handle thousands of requests per second
• Remain highly secure against DDoS attacks, prompt injection, and other threats
• Feature highly efficient data ingestion pipelines (e.g., accurately parsing thousands of PDF files, including tables spread across multiple pages and unknown layouts)
• Deliver highly accurate RAG and Agentic RAG performance through data-driven error analysis AI evaluators and systematic improvement of prompt engineering, retrieval (like vector search), and LLM capabilities.
If you want to start building serious, production-grade RAG applications instead of toy prototypes, contact me for a free assessment of your idea's viability and technical feasibility.

Need a production-ready AI system that actually works? I build LLM-powered, multi-agent solutions on GCP using LangChain and LangGraph — turning complex business workflows into reliable, scalable automation your team can ship.
What sets me apart is the rare combination of deep backend engineering (9 years across Amazon, Groupon, and high-growth startups) and hands-on AI product building. I'm not just integrating APIs — I designed and shipped InterviewLM, an AI-native hiring platform, and Juliet, an agentic coding assistant. I understand how AI systems fail in production and how to build them so they don't.
I specialize in:
🤖 Multi-agent orchestration with LangChain and LangGraph
☁️ GCP-native AI infrastructure (Vertex AI, Cloud Run, BigQuery)
🔍 RAG pipelines, vector search, and semantic retrieval
⚙️ Backend systems in Python, TypeScript, and Go that scale under real load
🔒 Fraud detection, data pipelines, and performance-critical APIs
Here's what I can build for you:
🧠 Custom multi-agent AI systems that automate complex, multi-step business processes
📄 RAG-based document intelligence tools (contracts, support, knowledge bases)
🏗️ AI backend architecture — from prototype to production on GCP or AWS
🔗 LLM integrations with your existing stack (REST APIs, databases, internal tools)
📊 Data pipelines and analytics infrastructure using Spark, Redshift, or BigQuery
Whether you need a proof-of-concept in days or a production system built to last, I scope clearly and deliver without surprises.
✅ Founder of InterviewLM — AI-native technical hiring platform used to evaluate engineers at scale
✅ Built agentic coding assistant Juliet, enabling developers to ship faster with AI-driven workflows
✅ Former SDE at Amazon and Groupon — shipped backend systems handling millions of transactions
✅ Led fraud prevention infrastructure at Pillow, reducing fraudulent activity across the platform
✅ 9 years of backend and distributed systems experience across fintech, logistics, and SaaS
If you're building something with AI and need an engineer who has done it in production — not just in demos — send me a message. I typically respond within a few hours and happy to jump on a quick call to scope your project.
