I’m looking to build scalable SaaS backends and APIs, optimize performance, and integrate AI, LLMs, and RAG to create intelligent applications. I aim to combine strong backend engineering with practical AI solutions in a remote, engineering focused environment.

Senior software engineer building scalable SaaS platforms with Python, FastAPI, React, and robust APIs.
What I'm looking for
I’m a Senior Software Engineer with 5+ years of experience building scalable SaaS platforms, REST APIs, and full-stack web applications.
Currently, I’m working on AI-powered applications, integrating large language models(LLMs), building retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) systems, and developing AI workflows to deliver intelligent, scalable solutions.
In my previous role, I developed scalable backend services for an AI-powered PropTech SaaS platform, supporting 1M+ residential units and 8.7M+ renter engagements. I designed and optimized APIs, reducing latency by approximately 30%.
Previously, I built and enhanced SaaS products, including a booking and business management platform serving 6,500+ businesses. I’ve contributed to different software architectures, supported learning management systems, and developed a production-grade URL shortener with authentication, analytics, caching, rate limiting, and background processing.
I focus on performance and reliability by optimizing database queries, implementing caching, and using asynchronous processing to improve scalability and system efficiency. I also collaborate with distributed engineering teams in remote, asynchronous environments.
