Senior Backend & AI Engineer building scalable AI-powered SaaS and production-grade cloud systems.
What I'm looking for
I’m a Senior Backend & AI Engineer with 5+ years building AI-powered SaaS platforms, scalable backend systems, AI infrastructure, and production-grade cloud infrastructure. I focus on shipping reliable APIs and automation that run smoothly in real-world, high-ownership environments.
In my most recent role, I built and maintained scalable SaaS applications and AI-powered automation systems using Python, Node.js, Flask, and FastAPI. I designed microservices-based architectures, integrated AWS services (EC2, S3, Lambda, ECS, CloudWatch), implemented Redis caching and RabbitMQ event-driven systems, and streamlined deployments with GitHub Actions CI/CD.
Across my projects, I’ve delivered production workflows like recruitment automation bots, a real-time Google Meet AI Notetaker (transcription + summarization), OCR-driven HR pipelines, and backend architectures supporting 300+ concurrent users. I’m especially motivated by teams that value fast delivery, system reliability, and practical AI that creates measurable outcomes.
