What I'm looking for

I’m looking to lead backend systems and AI tooling end-to-end—shipping reliable APIs, scaling services under load, and building rigorous agent-evaluation pipelines—while keeping a high-ownership engineering culture and clear delivery impact.

I’m a senior full stack engineer (backend-heavy) shipping production APIs in .NET and Python for logistics, payments, AI tooling, and enterprise clients across Europe, the UK, and the US. I’m comfortable on the frontend with Angular, Blazor, and Material UI when delivery needs it, and I’ve led backend teams of 3 to 4 engineers while owning architecture and day-to-day delivery.

Most recently, I’ve been backend tech lead for UI Gyms—building PostgreSQL schemas and Python/FastAPI APIs for config, tasks, sessions, and state, and fixing load/concurrency issues by tuning connection pooling, caching DB connections, isolating sessions per DB connection, and pre-warming session databases. Earlier, I led a last-mile platform handling up to 5,000 daily orders and scaled an AI training backend from 1 to 2 users to 70+ concurrent agents, including designing agent evaluation tasks and rubrics for LLM training pipelines.
