Philip C.

Backend Engineer for Secure APIs & AI Systems

I’m a backend software engineer specializing in Python, FastAPI, and API integrations, with strong experience building scalable, secure backend systems. I design and implement production-grade APIs with JWT authentication, RBAC, and rate limiting, and deploy services on AWS using Docker and CI/CD pipelines. I’m comfortable owning systems end-to-end, from architecture through deployment and monitoring. I also work with AI-powered systems, including RAG pipelines and custom agent-style chatbots that interact with real data and APIs. My focus is on reliability, structured outputs, and practical automation — not demo prototypes. Core skills: -Backend development (Python, FastAPI) -API & SaaS integrations -Secure, scalable system design -AI systems (RAG, agent tools) -AWS deployment & CI/CD If you need a backend engineer who builds real, production-ready systems, I can help.
