Senior software engineer specializing in scalable backend systems and production AI integrations.
United StatesWhat I'm looking for
I’m a Senior Software Engineer with 10+ years of experience building and scaling production web applications across backend systems, cloud-native platforms, and data-intensive workloads. I focus on end-to-end ownership, turning requirements into reliable GraphQL/REST APIs and performant distributed architectures.
At Two Chairs, I design and build backend services with Node.js and Python, including GraphQL schema design, resolvers, and performance tuning for scalable data access. I lead full-stack development with React, Next.js, and TypeScript, and I integrate AI/ML using Python FastAPI to power LLM-driven features like personalized matching, recommendations, and content surfacing.
Across my experience at Atlassian and Workday, I’ve implemented production LLM capabilities using OpenAI and Anthropic APIs, building RAG workflows with embeddings and vector search (plus prompt evaluation and optimization). I also improve system performance through query tuning and indexing strategies, mentor engineers through design/code reviews and architecture discussions, and deliver reliably in Agile/Scrum environments.
