Faraz N.
Full-Stack AI Engineer | Conversational AI, RAG, Node/Python
I'm Faraz, a senior full-stack developer with 15+ years building and maintaining production systems for startups, SaaS companies, and growing businesses. As a full-stack developer I work across backend architecture, API development, AI integrations, and automation, helping clients ship features, fix what's broken, and build systems that hold up under real traffic. My backend stack centers on Node.js, NestJS, and Python. As a full-stack developer I design and build REST and GraphQL APIs, event-driven services, background job systems, and ETL pipelines that are clean, monitored, and built for production. I also work on the frontend when needed, React and Vue, so I can own a feature end to end without waiting on someone else. I've worked as a full-stack developer across SaaS platforms, admin dashboards, CRM systems, internal tools, logistics platforms, marketplace backends, AI-powered products, and real-time data systems. My work covers backend architecture, third-party API integrations, payment systems, authentication flows, queue management, and performance debugging. I work with PostgreSQL, MongoDB, MySQL, and Redis, designing data models, writing optimized queries, and tracking down the slow queries nobody looked at until they caused an outage. I understand legacy codebases as well as greenfield builds, and I move between the two without needing a ramp-up period. I also work as a full-stack developer on AI integrations, embedding OpenAI and Claude into real business workflows, building RAG pipelines over private data, and connecting LLMs to existing systems in ways that actually reduce manual work instead of just sounding good in demos. On cloud and infrastructure: AWS, GCP, Azure. Docker, CI/CD pipelines, environment hardening. I don't just deploy, I make sure what I ship survives Monday morning. Where I've added the most value as a full-stack developer is in high-stakes situations: production systems under load, broken deployments, memory leaks, race conditions, integrations that stopped working. I'm often hired when "it worked before" stopped being true. If you need a senior full-stack developer who can jump into a complex codebase and actually move things forward, let's talk.
