I help businesses build AI-powered products and scalable AWS systems, from the first idea to a fully working application in production. My work is a mix of cloud architecture, backend engineering, and AI development. I primarily work with React, Python (with all modern Agentic AI Tech stack), and AWS, designing systems that are secure, reliable, cost-effective, and built to handle real users. One of my recent projects involved turning a horse racing analytics platform into an AI-powered SaaS product on AWS. I built a multi-agent system where specialized AI agents analyze different types of racing data, execute code, use tools, and work together to answer complex questions in real time. On the infrastructure side, I designed the system using ECS, SQS, Redis, Cognito, and Terraform, with independent scaling for API and worker services, real-time streaming, secure networking, monitoring, and usage-based billing through Stripe. Here's what I can help you with: - AWS & Cloud Architecture: Designing and deploying scalable applications using ECS, Lambda, API Gateway, SQS, EventBridge, S3, DynamoDB, RDS, and other AWS services. - AI Agents & LLM Applications: Building AI agents, multi-agent systems, RAG applications, coding agents, and intelligent workflows that work with your data, APIs, and tools. - Backend & SaaS Development: Python APIs, microservices, authentication, payment integrations, asynchronous processing, streaming, and usage-based billing. - DevOps & Infrastructure: Terraform, Docker, Kubernetes, CI/CD, monitoring, security, and cloud cost optimization. - Machine Learning & Data Engineering: ML/DL models, data pipelines, analytics, MLOps, and deploying AI models into production. I also have three master's degrees in Artificial Intelligence, Computer Science, and Engineering, which give me a strong foundation alongside my industry experience. I like keeping things practical. I focus on understanding what you're trying to build, choosing the right technologies, and getting a working version running early rather than making things unnecessarily complicated. If you're building an AI product, improving an existing system, or looking for someone who can handle both the AI and cloud engineering sides, I'd be happy to discuss your project.
