What I'm looking for

I'm seeking a remote opportunity where I can combine backend engineering fundamentals with modern AI capabilities to build reliable, scalable, and genuinely useful software.

I've built production backend and AI systems for NavonStack, Aftercare, ReconPe, and Simular, spanning API monitoring, financial reconciliation, surveys, and computer-use automation.

At Aftercare, I developed LLM workflows that improved feedback depth by 25%, screening accuracy by 20%, and reduced manual analysis by 30%. At ReconPe, I built Java and Spring Boot reconciliation services that reduced manual processing by 25%.

I work across Java, Python, Spring Boot, FastAPI, REST APIs, PostgreSQL, and LLM integrations, with a focus on reliable APIs, data processing, backend architecture, and production delivery.
