I build GenAI systems and high-performance backend services.
Right now I'm focused on:
- π§ Building RAG pipelines and agent-based AI workflows
- β‘ Designing high-concurrency APIs
- ποΈ Optimizing PostgreSQL queries and reducing latency
- π Writing async-first backend systems
- π Turning LLM prototypes into production-ready systems
I enjoy working at the intersection of AI systems and backend engineering β where performance, reliability, and clean architecture actually matter.
Backend
- Python (FastAPI)
- Node.js
- PostgreSQL
- Redis
- WebSockets / Event-driven systems
- AWS
AI
- RAG pipelines
- Agent orchestration
- LLM integration & structured outputs
Frontend (when needed)
- React
- Concurrency & event loops
- Query plans & indexing
- Caching strategies
- Latency bottlenecks
- System design under load
- Making AI systems deterministic and reliable

If you're into backend systems, AI infrastructure, or performance engineering β we'll probably get along.
