Ian R.

Senior AI Engineer & Smart Contract Engineer | LLMs & Blockchain

You probably need one of these: 1) An AI or automation system that works in production, not just a demo 2) A Web3 product that won't get stuck in audit hell 3) A mobile app or device automation pipeline that scales past 10 users 4) Someone to fix infrastructure that someone else broke That's what I do. I'm a polyglot engineer based in Indonesia with 7+ years shipping production systems across AI, Web3, mobile, and the infrastructure that holds them together. What I work on: - AI & Automation — LLM agents, social media intelligence platforms, sentiment & virality pipelines, multimodal workflows (Claude/GPT/Gemini APIs, vector DBs, custom RAG, evals, cost optimization) - Blockchain — Smart contracts on EVM chains (Ethereum, BSC, Polygon, Arbitrum, Base) and Solana. Solidity, Rust, ethers.js, web3.py. Hackathon winner with open-source contributions to production Layer-1 codebases. - Mobile & Cross-platform — iOS and Android development, plus large-scale mobile device orchestration (anti-detect browsers, residential proxy infrastructure, social automation at scale) - Full-Stack & DevOps — Python, TypeScript, Node.js, React, Next.js, Flask, FastAPI. Docker, Nginx, monitoring (Prometheus/Grafana/Loki), VPS provisioning, CI/CD. I own the infra I build, not just the code. Recent production work: → Real-time social listening platform monitoring TikTok, Instagram, and Twitter — sentiment scoring, virality detection, automated stakeholder reports via WhatsApp and Lark → Self-hosted ALPR (license plate recognition) computer vision pipeline replacing expensive cloud APIs for parking management clients → Trading automation: Pine Script strategies wired to Binance Futures via custom webhook gateway How I work: Clear scoping, milestone-based delivery, async-first communication, no ghosting. For larger engagements I prefer a small paid trial first so we both validate fit before committing. Stack: Python, TypeScript, Solidity, Rust, Pine Script · React, Next.js, Flask, FastAPI · Docker, Linux, Nginx, Cloudflare · OpenAI/Anthropic/Google AI APIs · PostgreSQL, Redis, MongoDB Available 20–30 hrs/week. Open to hourly or fixed-price. Let's talk about what you're building.
