What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a role where I can build secure, scalable backend systems and integrate AI (including explainability) with privacy-by-design from day one. I thrive on automation, CI/CD, and distributed, reliability-focused delivery.

I’m a Secure AI & Backend Engineer focused on designing scalable infrastructures that stay native to security and compliance. I integrate modern AI approaches—Agentic Systems and XAI—on top of solid foundations in Python and Node.js.

In my Backend Software Engineer role at TechEalthVolution SRL, I engineered and secured over 40 RESTful endpoints for sensitive medical data using JWT and Spring Security standards. I architected relational (PostgreSQL) and NoSQL (MongoDB) schemas to support pre-production healthcare flows with strong data integrity and high-concurrency performance, while also reducing local environment setup time by 70% through Docker and Docker-Compose with parity between dev and pre-production.

My projects reflect how I think: automation with measurable reliability. With ZeekXAI, I built a high-performance detection system for complex attacks on massive Zeek logs (Parquet/PySpark) and made decisions auditable using SHAP and PDP for corporate-ready transparency in critical infrastructures. With EvoFolio, I implemented NSGA-II in Python for algorithmic portfolio optimization validated against traditional benchmarks, and with my NLP Filter Code project, I developed an agentic pipeline translating natural language into executable JS with 90% accuracy using Llama 3 and Qwen.
