🚀 I help startups and enterprises scale backend systems and ship AI-powered products — without the infrastructure falling over. 📌 Recent results: I scaled a document automation platform from 140K to 1M+ monthly transactions across 50+ enterprise clients, including McDonald's South Africa. I led development of a code-generation engine (AIME) capable of generating 7,500 APIs in under 1 minute. I built a real-time auction platform with secure, scalable architecture for instant bidding and zero downtime. I've also delivered internal tools and applications adopted by teams at Uber and McDonald's. I'm a Backend & AI Systems Engineer with 7+ years of experience building products that hold up under real production load, not just demos. I specialize in scalable backend architecture, AI/LLM integration, and automation systems that save teams real time and money. I work closely with founders and engineering teams to solve the actual problem, not just ship features. 💡 What I help clients build: scalable backend systems and APIs (Node.js, Python) → AI-powered tools and LLM-integrated workflows → SaaS platforms and MVPs for fast reliable launches → high-throughput data pipelines and document automation → dashboards and internal tools → cloud infrastructure (AWS, Docker, CI/CD, Terraform). 🛠️ Tech I work with. Backend: Node.js, Express.js, Python, Laravel, SQL, MongoDB, Neo4J, Firebase. Frontend: React, Next.js, Tailwind, React Native, Angular. Cloud & DevOps: AWS, Docker, Terraform, CI/CD. AI & Automation: OpenAI, Claude, Gemini, LLM integration, n8n, Zapier, Make. ✅ Why teams choose me: I've built systems proven at scale, handling millions of transactions in production, not just prototypes. I write clean, scalable architecture built to hold up under real load. I communicate clearly and consistently throughout the engagement, and I focus on solving the underlying problem, not just closing the ticket. 📅 How I work: I take on a limited number of projects. Every engagement starts with a short scoping call to clarify goals and confirm we're a good fit. 💬 Send me a message to schedule a scoping session.
