What I'm looking for

I seek roles building scalable, production AI systems and backends with autonomy to design architecture, mentor teams, and deploy multimodal/offline solutions.

I am an Applied AI and full‑stack engineer with hands‑on experience building production backends, RAG systems, streaming WebSocket interfaces, and offline multimodal AI solutions. I design and implement scalable, event‑driven architectures using Python (FastAPI, Django), databases (MySQL, MongoDB, NeonDB), and AWS services to deliver reliable user and auth flows, CSV/REST pipelines, and real‑time AI experiences.

I have led teams and shipped end‑to‑end products in startup environments — from multi‑tenant PRD builder backends with WebSocket streaming and Clerk.js auth to local document question‑generation systems using Llama 3 via Ollama. I prioritize pragmatic infrastructure, developer ergonomics, and user‑in‑the‑loop workflows to create performant, deployable AI applications.
