What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a team building AI-native B2B SaaS—where I can own backend systems, ship LLM + vector search features, and drive workflow automation end-to-end with strong engineering standards.

I’m an AI & Backend Engineer with 5 years building B2B SaaS products in TypeScript and Node.js. I specialise in LLM integrations, vector search, and integration platform architecture, and I’m comfortable turning messy real-world data into reliable system behavior.

At Quake.dev, I build an AI-native recruitment automation platform that connects ATSs, email, and third-party tools through AI agents and visual workflow automation. I’ve delivered core product capabilities end-to-end: reusable CSV ingestion with dynamic column mapping, a configurable Kanban pipeline promoted into a platform-wide feature, and unified structured search supporting vector, full-text, and hybrid retrieval modes with end-to-end test coverage.

I also lead technical delivery as a Technical Consultant, owning provisioning and deployment, and translating compliance and product requirements into an engineering roadmap. I enjoy building fast, maintainable systems—whether that’s semantic search pipelines, workflow triggers, or mobile-ready features with React Native and Flutter.
