Backend AI and distributed systems engineer building scalable APIs and automation.
What I'm looking for
I’m a software engineer focused on backend systems, distributed applications, and Generative AI. I enjoy turning ideas into reliable services—especially when they involve scalable APIs, automation, and thoughtful system design.
In my Freelance work, I engineered automated data extraction pipelines using Python, Selenium, and BeautifulSoup, processing and validating 2,400+ medical records into structured JSON datasets. I also evaluated AI-generated responses and reviewed Python code for correctness, quality, and alignment with project guidelines.
As a Backend AI Engineering Intern at FlyRank.ai, I develop backend services and REST APIs using Express.js and collaborate with engineers through Git-based workflows. I build with an emphasis on practical engineering—clean interfaces, maintainability, and secure integrations.
On my projects, I designed an asynchronous code-judging pipeline with Redis, BullMQ, and Docker, including isolated execution, timeout enforcement, and verdict generation. I’ve also built AI-powered mock interviews with CV parsing and adaptive LLM-generated follow-up questions, and a Chess AI interface using Pygame with Stockfish via the UCI protocol.
