What I'm looking for

I’m looking to build and ship end-to-end backend systems: Go services, REST/webhook integrations, Kubernetes operations, and practical AI/LLM automation—while owning product delivery and driving reliable outcomes from requirements to production.

I’m a Backend & Integration Engineer and systems-focused builder with 4+ years shipping production automation, Go (Golang) API integrations, and SaaS products. I run workloads on Kubernetes, build REST APIs and webhooks, and help turn product vision into reliable delivery.

I’ve been an AI practitioner in my daily work—using LLM API integration and advanced AI tooling to improve development, automation, and product outcomes. As founder and product owner at ISAR Digital, I’ve owned the roadmap and delivered 4 SaaS products (including Trello Power-Ups with billing and dashboards) and built ERP business logic and integration workflows for platforms like Paddle and MoySklad.
