At Weza Prosoft, I developed backend services for an event platform using FastAPI, SQLAlchemy, PostgreSQL, Redis, and Celery, and contributed to its React/TypeScript frontend. I also supported production deployment and resolved onboarding and deployment issues across application and infrastructure layers.

I built Pulse, an open-source Linux observability TUI that provides real-time system telemetry using /proc parsing and eBPF. I implemented concurrent trace collection in Rust and Tokio, with automated CI/CD releases.

At Fiverr, I built automation, backend APIs, and AI applications for clients. I also developed an end-to-end MLOps pipeline for real-time object detection and tracking, deploying containerized services with Docker, Kubernetes, and Terraform.
