Senior AI Full Stack Engineer turning medical ML and high-throughput backends into reliable, production systems.
What I'm looking for
I’m a Senior AI Full Stack Engineer with 10 years of progressive experience spanning backend systems, distributed architectures, and applied machine learning. I specialize in bridging ML model development with high-throughput engineering so teams can ship measurable performance and reliability gains.
Most recently, I designed and shipped a production-grade retinal screening platform integrating PyTorch inference pipelines with HIPAA-compliant data infrastructure for clinical workflows at scale. I reduced diagnostic processing latency by 42%, maintained clinical-grade AUC thresholds (>=0.97), and cut physician annotation time by 35% by building a multimodal LLM pipeline for note summarization and anomaly flagging.
I’m comfortable owning systems end-to-end—from GPU inference optimization and vector search design to React frontends and CI/CD rollout strategy. Earlier, I built distributed telemetry ingestion at 500K+ events/second with 99.99% uptime using Kafka and Spring Boot, and I led the decomposition of a monolith into domain-scoped microservices to isolate fault boundaries and enable independent scaling.

Senior AI Full Stack Engineer
Optomed Plc
Aug 2023 - Feb 2026 (2 years 6 months)
Architected a production retinal screening platform integrating FastAPI microservices with PyTorch inference, reducing diagnostic processing latency by 42% while maintaining clinical-grade AUC (>=0.97). Built an LLM clinical note pipeline (GPT-4-vision + FAISS) cutting physician annotation time by 35%, and delivered sub-200ms P99 GraphQL queries at 1.5M+ records with HIPAA-aligned encrypted, audit
Built distributed telemetry ingestion services in Java Spring Boot with Apache Kafka, sustaining 500K+ events/second at 99.99% uptime. Developed streaming fault-detection algorithms reducing incident detection latency by 30% and suppressing 60%+ false positives, and delivered React network analytics dashboards that reduced time-to-identify faults by 25%.
Developed Node.js/Express backend services for network configuration management, improving API response times by 28% via index tuning and N+1 query elimination. Built React/Redux provisioning tools and JWT-based RBAC, reducing manual configuration effort by 20% and strengthening access control, and integrated the ELK stack to cut incident time-to-resolution by surfacing actionable diagnostics.
Backend Engineer
City of Vantaa
Jun 2016 - Jan 2019 (2 years 7 months)
Built Java backend services for municipal citizen data platforms, improving throughput by 35% under peak load through schema/index optimization and load-balanced deployment. Implemented asynchronous batch processing with ActiveMQ, reducing end-user-visible delays by 40%, and delivered REST integrations with idempotency, retries, and versioning while improving observability with correlation IDs and
