What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a role where I can build backend APIs and user-facing web features end-to-end, and also get to work on practical GenAI features like semantic search and RAG pipelines in real products.

At Spinny, I built a service-to-service REST API feeding workshop Garage Inventory so allocation and capacity flows can run for 500+ cars/day. I also engineered real-time Kafka event production in a Django backend to connect the refurbishment pipeline with Logistics Auto-Pilot.

At LeanIT, I created user interfaces with Next.js and TypeScript and implemented JWT auth with Google OAuth, securing multiple Node.js API routes with httpOnly cookies and CSRF protection using Redis. On my own projects, I’ve shipped a MERN app on AWS with Docker/Nginx and built a Gemini + LangChain RAG note intelligence system with authenticated users.
