@yazilansari
I build high-throughput backend platforms, distributed systems, and production AI workflows.
What I'm looking for
I've led the greenfield cloud-native e-commerce platform at Ahmed Al Maghribi Perfumes, replacing a legacy WordPress monolith with Golang and Node.js microservices on Kubernetes. I also built an AI-driven RAG assistant using LangChain, LangGraph, vector databases, and custom MCP server integrations.
Previously, I helped build Kotak Securities' real-time trading backend, processing millions of events daily through Node.js, Kafka, and Redis under low-latency execution requirements. My work across AWS, Docker, Kubernetes, testing, and observability supported 99.9%+ uptime.
I bring 11 years of backend engineering experience, including API architecture, ERP systems, payment integrations, GitOps, and remote technical leadership across global time zones.
