What I'm looking for

I'm looking to build reliable backend platforms, APIs, distributed workflows, and AI-powered systems, taking ownership from requirements and architecture through deployment and production support.

I've built production backend systems for TripTap, an AI-powered trip planning and itinerary generation platform, using FastAPI, PostgreSQL, and structured LLM workflows.

I design REST APIs, data models, and backend components that support reliable workflows, clear interfaces, robust error handling, and maintainable operations. I also support Docker-based deployments, cloud infrastructure, production debugging, and end-to-end delivery with product and frontend teams.

At Fielder Work Limited, I built Django systems for staffing and workforce management, including employee scheduling, shift management, attendance tracking, and geofencing-based clock-in and clock-out rules. I also developed asynchronous and scheduled workflows with Celery and Redis while improving system readability, testability, and reliability.

Through consulting engagements, I've delivered Python, Django, and FastAPI services, automation, web scraping, and third-party API integrations for international clients. I take projects from requirements and solution design through deployment, debugging, and ongoing support, and I contribute to the open-source Zed editor in Rust.
