Senior full‑stack engineer specializing in backend systems and AI-enabled platforms.
What I'm looking for
I am a senior full‑stack engineer with deep backend expertise building AI-enabled underwriting and marketplace systems. I design and implement robust, API-first services in Python (FastAPI), Ruby on Rails, and Node.js, and integrate LLMs, document intelligence, and agentic automation to make outputs explainable and auditable.
I partner closely with frontend teams (React/TypeScript) to deliver high-throughput workbenches, improve performance and scalability through microservices and containerization, and ensure secure, tenant‑isolated deployments on cloud platforms. I have delivered measurable improvements in reliability, latency, and operational efficiency across enterprise and marketplace environments.
