What I'm looking for

I'm looking to build scalable backend platforms and practical AI automation, especially systems that improve engineering workflows, data processing, and reliable high-volume operations.

At Live Nation Entertainment, I build AI-powered engineering workflows and scalable backend services, including Claude Code agents that cut review cycles by 40% and MCP servers that connect agents to internal Kafka data.

I've designed microservices, ETL workflows, and API platforms across Live Nation, Groupe SEB, and freelance web3 projects using Python, Go, FastAPI, AWS, Airflow, Docker, and Kubernetes. My work has reduced processing latency, deployment time, and manual operational effort while supporting high-volume distributed systems.
