Raymond Gonzales

I am a backend and full-stack software engineer with over 6 years of experience building production systems, APIs, automation tools, cloud-based applications, and data platforms. My main skills include Node.js, TypeScript, Python, NestJS, Fastify, Express, PostgreSQL, MongoDB, BigQuery, Redis, Docker, CI/CD, and cloud services across AWS, Azure, and GCP.

I have experience designing scalable backend systems, REST and GraphQL APIs, event-driven microservices, background workers, secure authentication, role-based access control, database optimization, and cloud deployments. I also have hands-on experience with AI and LLM applications, including RAG-based chatbots, AI assistants, workflow automation, and agentic tools that connect with email, Slack, and calendars.

My career interests are focused on backend engineering, full-stack development, applied AI, automation, cloud infrastructure, fintech, data platforms, and technical operations. I enjoy solving complex technical problems, improving system reliability, automating manual work, and building practical products that create real business value.
