I build AI-powered products and the scalable backends behind them, from first prototype to production systems that handle real users, real traffic, and real money. I’ve spent 8+ years as a senior backend engineer across fintech, payments, healthcare, crypto gaming, and transportation. Now I combine that experience with the latest AI models (Claude Opus & Fable, GPT, Gemini) to ship faster without cutting corners. Hire me if you: • Have an AI idea and need someone who can actually ship it to production • Built a prototype with AI tools and it breaks with real users • Want AI agents that automate real work in your business, not just demos • Need LLM features in your product: chat, search, document processing, copilots • Have a backend that’s slow, unstable, or can’t scale • Need a senior engineer who takes full ownership, so you don’t have to manage the details What I build: • AI agents & automation: multi-step agents with tool use, function calling, MCP, and connections to your existing systems • LLM features: RAG, semantic search, chatbots, document processing, AI copilots • AI prototype → production: security, testing, monitoring, and architecture that holds up • Scalable backends & APIs: Go, NestJS, microservices, gRPC, event-driven systems • Cloud & DevOps: AWS, GCP, Docker, Kubernetes, CI/CD, cost optimization • Fintech & payments: payment gateways, wallets, merchant integrations, real-time transactions Why clients work with me: • Senior judgment, AI speed. AI helps me move fast. Experience makes sure what ships is correct, secure, and maintainable. • I think like an owner. I’ll push back on bad ideas, suggest simpler solutions, and focus on your business result, not just the ticket. • No surprises. A clear plan up front, regular progress updates, and honest estimates. • Clean handover. Documented, tested code your team can maintain without me. • Easy to work with across time zones. My hours overlap fully with Europe and with US mornings.

Send me your idea, prototype, or problem, and I’ll reply with how I’d build it.
