What I'm looking for

I'm open to remote opportunities worldwide and relocation, where I can build production backend systems, developer platforms, integrations, payments, and AI-enabled products.

I build backend APIs, SDKs, integrations, and AI-enabled products. At Aridian Technologies, I develop the @rasterex/viewer JavaScript/TypeScript SDK and integration layer for Rasterex Canvas, supporting customer applications used across 50+ countries.

I also co-founded PlayLight, where I own backend and product architecture for personalized AI experiences using NestJS, PostgreSQL, pgvector, embeddings, retrieval, and LLM APIs. Previously, I built scheduling, Stripe Connect, location-aware, e-commerce, and payment systems for production products.
