Salman Ahmed

I am a Senior Backend Engineer with 8+ years designing and delivering scalable backend services and microservices using Python, Django, FastAPI, and PostgreSQL. I specialize in integrating ML/LLM systems into production, building RAG systems, and optimizing APIs for performance and reliability.

I have a proven track record — optimizing API performance by 30%, reducing query load times by 20%, processing 10,000+ items daily in production systems, and improving system recovery and uptime through resilient microservice architectures. I’ve deployed solutions on AWS and Azure, automated CI/CD pipelines, and led engineering practices that improved team communication and delivery.

I focus on pragmatic system design, automation, and measurable outcomes: developing AI-powered compliance platforms, fraud-detection services, serverless image pipelines, and edge AI vision systems. I mentor engineers, drive architectural decisions, and deliver secure, scalable systems that integrate ML models into inference pipelines.
