I build multi-tenant web platforms, APIs, and AI automation with Ruby, Python, TypeScript, and AWS.
What I'm looking for
I've built multi-tenant platforms, APIs, web applications, and automation for teams in Canada, the United Kingdom, the United States, and Ethiopia.
At RewardOps, I develop Ruby services and APIs for a multi-tenant rewards platform, delivering shopping-cart functionality and Twilio SMS notifications across frontend and backend workflows. I support AWS-hosted architecture focused on tenant data isolation, scalability, and maintainable code.
At Fuel Meals, I improved customer-support automation from 45% to 60% through backend integration, API handling, workflow optimization, and bottleneck improvements. At AiQEM, I built a data-analytics service, Node.js backend modules, and a Python Telegram bot integration while reducing infrastructure costs by 35%.
I've also delivered AWS authentication, Lambda, CI/CD, PHP/Nuxt.js project-management tools, Flutter field applications, and an RFID-enabled transportation system. My work combines Ruby, Python, JavaScript/TypeScript, cloud delivery, and practical product engineering.
