What I'm looking for

I seek roles building production LLM/AI backends using Python/Django, with emphasis on scalable microservices, CI/CD, and responsible AI practices in collaborative, growth-oriented teams.

I am an AI-focused backend engineer with nearly 3 years of hands-on experience operationalizing LLM-based systems in production, building and deploying 15+ AI-powered APIs and intelligent services using Python, Django, FastAPI, and cloud architectures.

I have engineered scalable GCP-based microservices, data pipelines, vector DB integrations (Pinecone, FAISS), and CI/CD pipelines, optimizing AI workflows to boost performance by 30% and reduce inference time by 25% while delivering real-time RAG pipelines, chatbots, and intelligent applications.

My projects include AI-powered trading/resolution systems, a Quran learning app with advanced speech-to-text and signal processing, and multiple SaaS and product platforms where I improved platform functionality, accuracy, and security through robust API design, monitoring, and responsible AI practices.
