What I bring to every project

Backend Engineering

Designing and building scalable APIs and backend systems with a focus on clean architecture, clear separation of concerns, and long-term maintainability. I structure service layers, data models, and business logic so they stay easy to extend as products grow.

Database & Infrastructure

Designing and optimizing relational and NoSQL data layers with MySQL, MariaDB, Firebase, and MongoDB. Comfortable with Linux servers and deployment pipelines.

AI Engineering

Integrating AI tools and APIs into real-world applications — from LLM-powered features and prompt engineering to automating workflows and using AI copilots to ship faster.
