What I'm looking for

I’m looking for W2 or contract roles where I can ship production-ready backend APIs and scalable data pipelines, integrate LLMs responsibly, and improve latency, reliability, and business impact in cloud-native environments.

I’m a Senior Software Engineer with 8+ years of experience building backend, data, and AI-driven systems. I specialize in Python (Django/FastAPI), scalable data pipelines, and cloud-native architectures.

At Six Feet Up, Inc, I deliver end-to-end backend, AI, and data platform solutions as a senior individual contributor. I lead API, data pipeline, and AI integration work in fast-paced, client-facing environments while partnering with stakeholders to scope requirements and design production-ready systems.

I focus on turning raw data into actionable insights—whether that’s building a RAG pipeline with LangChain for semantic search, modernizing healthcare analytics with Airflow/Spark/Delta Lake, or deploying AI chat experiences with pgvector-based retrieval and compliance guardrails.
