Backend / AI engineer focused on building and stabilizing systems that work with real world data.

Recently:

• Built and deployed a production RAG system (Python, FastAPI, React, Qdrant), including hybrid retrieval, ingestion, and backend APIs with improved retrieval quality and system stability as dataset scaled (ranking fixes, logging, debugging workflows)

Previously:

• 10+ years building and owning backend, data, and operational systems (ERP, BI, internal tools)

• Strong experience with messy data, integrations, and production debugging

• Delivered full systems end-to-end, including APIs, data pipelines, and internal tools

• Led technical delivery across cross-functional teams in complex corporate environments

Best fit: Backend or AI engineering roles where you need someone to quickly build, debug, or stabilize systems through API design & integrations, data pipelines, or LLM-powered features.

Open to contract engagements with possibility for longer term collaboration.

I build and improve complex backend and AI systems, with a focus on reliability, scaling, and making them work in production. Recently developed and deployed a RAG-based internal knowledge system (Python, React, FastAPI, Qdrant, Docker), focusing on retrieval quality, ingestion, and making inconsistent data usable in practice.

Previously: - 10+ years owning and deploying audit-critical enterprise systems across finance, data, and operations in multinational environments (SAP/BI/VBA stack) - Built simulation systems and decision logic for complex domains; led technical delivery across cross-functional teams in complex corporate environments - Quickly taking ownership of unfamiliar systems, diagnosing issues, and stabilizing production - End-to-end development and release of software products (solo execution)

Open to working with teams building or scaling backend/AI systems, especially where reliability, data quality, or system behavior are important concerns.
