Backend Engineer | Ruby on Rails, Python, AI/LLMs, RAG, FastAPI | Building scalable APIs, AI products & backend systems.
What I'm looking for
I’m a Backend Engineer with 4 years of experience building scalable APIs, distributed backend systems, and microservices using Ruby on Rails, Python, and PostgreSQL. I work across logistics, SaaS, and real estate, with a strong focus on event-driven architectures, asynchronous processing, caching, and system design.
Recently, I designed an AI-powered natural language analytics platform with Ruby on Rails, Python (LangGraph), and ClickHouse, and built a production RAG-based customer support agent using OpenAI Vector Stores, Redis, and confidence-aware retrieval with automated human escalation workflows. I’ve also delivered real impact by migrating address services from Cassandra to PostgreSQL for scalable geospatial querying, integrating Tile38 for address intelligence, revamping Rails APIs to reduce response times by 15%, and improving operational efficiency through workflow automation and data pipeline improvements (including a Top Performer of the Year recognition).
