Work with me
A backend & AI engineer who ships production code, not demos.
I help startups and teams build reliable FastAPI backends and ship AI/LLM features that actually hold up in production. Everything I write about on this blog is work I do for clients.
What I can build for you
FastAPI Backend & APIs
Production-grade REST APIs built or extended the right way — clean architecture, async done correctly, and the reliability work that keeps them up.
- New API services or features in FastAPI
- Auth, rate limiting, validation, error handling
- SQLAlchemy + PostgreSQL data modeling
- Docker + deployment + CI/CD
AI / LLM & RAG Features
Ship AI features that are grounded, evaluated, and production-ready — not demos that fall over. RAG pipelines and LLM integrations behind a clean API.
- RAG pipelines (chunking, embeddings, vector search)
- LLM integration into your product/API
- Document Q&A / chatbots over your data
- Evaluation, guardrails, and cost control
Production Rescue & Reliability
When it works locally but breaks in production — I diagnose and fix it. Performance, connection leaks, scaling, and the bugs that only show under load.
- “Works locally, fails in prod” debugging
- Performance & latency investigation
- Connection-pool / async issue fixes
- Production-readiness review
How we'll work together
Free discovery call
A 20–30 min call to understand the problem. I tell you honestly whether I can help — no pitch.
Fixed-scope proposal
A clear written scope, timeline, and price. You know exactly what you get before anything starts.
Build with updates
I build in the open with regular progress updates, clean commits, and code you can actually maintain.
Handover & support
Documented handover, plus a support window so nothing breaks the moment I step away.
Engagement
Simple, flexible, no surprises
Most projects run as a fixed-scope sprint (clear deliverable, clear price) or part-time weekly if you need ongoing help. We agree everything on the call before any work starts.
- Fixed-scope projects — pay for an outcome, not hours
- Part-time weekly retainers for ongoing work
- Remote, async-friendly, clear communication
- Free discovery call to scope and quote
