What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a team where I can lead backend and AI integration end-to-end, move fast, and take real ownership—building high-concurrency systems on AWS with strong CI/CD and quality.

I’m a Senior Backend Python Engineer with 5+ years architecting and building production systems from the ground up. I’m hands-on with FastAPI, SQLAlchemy, async Python services, Redis queues, and AWS full-suite deployments, and I thrive operating as a founding or lead engineer.

I’ve built and integrated AI-powered backend features in production, including OCR document processing for risk models and LLM-assisted workflow automation. I cut database latency 50%, sustain 20k+ daily requests with zero critical regressions, and independently own architecture decisions for scaling, deployment, scaling, and monitoring—backed by strong CI/CD discipline via GitHub Actions with full test coverage before every deployment.
