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

01

Free discovery call

A 20–30 min call to understand the problem. I tell you honestly whether I can help — no pitch.

02

Fixed-scope proposal

A clear written scope, timeline, and price. You know exactly what you get before anything starts.

03

Build with updates

I build in the open with regular progress updates, clean commits, and code you can actually maintain.

04

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
