## What I'm looking for

```text
I'm open to relocation, remote roles, and contract engagements where I can design and operate backend architecture, RAG pipelines, and cloud deployments for commercial AI systems.

## About

```text
At Sports Digitale, I build the shared microservices foundation for sports-focused AI products, using Node.js for orchestration and Python/FastAPI for ML workloads. I’m developing RAG pipelines grounded in verified club and event data, alongside PanoramaML’s panoramic football video-analysis pipeline.

Previously at Datarul, I developed backend services for a data-governance SaaS platform, including metadata discovery, data dictionary management, PII detection, and data-lineage visualization. I’ve built production microservices in .NET Core, Python, and Go on Kubernetes.

Across defense, IoT, fintech, and games, I’ve delivered analytics APIs for 1,000+ field devices, air-gapped CI/CD environments, and containerized multiplayer game servers. I enjoy taking systems from architecture through implementation and production operations.
