Senior backend engineer building scalable architectures and LLM-powered automation for production-critical systems.
What I'm looking for
I’m a backend engineer with 7+ years of experience designing and evolving complex systems. My work is anchored in system design, stable REST API development, and integrating modern technologies into production.
Across my roles, I focus on LLM-powered automation and turning AI capabilities into reliable products. I’ve monetized OpenAI API integrations, built prompt pipelines, and supported parallel AI workloads that improve throughput without sacrificing quality.
I’m also deeply experienced in scalable backend architecture—especially distributed systems, microservices, and performance optimization. From PHP/Laravel production refactoring to Node.js microservices, Go file handling, Python LLM automation, and Redis optimization, I prioritize reliability, measurable speed, and maintainable design.
Currently, I deliver business-critical backend systems: large-scale legacy PHP monolith modernization, an AI HR assistant for LLM-based CV ranking, and real-time KPI monitoring and secure appointment platforms. I bring a practical, engineering-first mindset—useful system design, production resilience, and thoughtful integration of AI into everyday workflows.
