Full stack & AI engineer building scalable AWS serverless platforms and LLM agents.
What I'm looking for
I’m a Full Stack / Backend Software Engineer with 5+ years of experience building scalable, reliable, and maintainable web applications within AWS serverless architectures. I architect high-performance Node.js backends and monorepo systems, and I leverage Python to engineer production-ready LLM application layers and autonomous AI agents for enterprise workflows.
At UnaBiz, I architected and scaled event-driven serverless IoT applications on AWS using Node.js and Python, integrating OpenSearch with DynamoDB to enable complex multi-attribute filtering and advanced analytics with low-latency data access. I also led an end-to-end LLM-driven IoT Decoder-Builder platform using Python and RAG pipelines, automating technical documentation and hex table processing—cutting a manual engineering cycle from 3–7 days to near-instant self-service.
I spearheaded a comprehensive refactor of legacy systems into an optimized monorepo environment using Terraform for Infrastructure as Code, eliminating deployment drift and improving maintainability and high availability. I modernized critical web applications with TypeScript and Vite, and I established robust integration testing environments that increased service reliability and reduced production bugs.
I’ve also focused on sustainable team execution: I pioneered agentic coding workflows and automation tools to maximize development velocity and free up engineering capacity. Earlier, at Dancing Dots Technology, I co-founded a martech SaaS startup and built a personalized content management system plus an interactive editor plugin, integrating deep learning models with a Python web framework.
