About
I build backend systems and ML-enabled services that power production applications. My work focuses on API design, scalable microservices, data pipelines, and reliable inference/serving layers that meet business SLAs.
Core strengths include designing resilient FastAPI and Node.js services, integrating vector search (Pinecone) and retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) pipelines with LangChain/LangGraph, and deploying inference and API workloads on Google Cloud (Cloud Run, Cloud Build, Artifact Registry, GCS).
I prioritize observability, security, and automation: automated CI/CD, containerized deployments, structured logging, monitoring, and rigorous testing to reduce downtime and accelerate safe releases. I collaborate closely with product and data teams to translate ML prototypes into production-ready systems.
Technical highlights:
- Backend: FastAPI, Nest.js, TypeScript, Python
- ML / AI infra: LangChain, LangGraph, RAG, Pinecone, embeddings, inference orchestration
- Cloud & infra: Google Cloud Platform (VMs, Cloud Run, GCS, Cloud Build, Triggers), Docker, Kubernetes, Terraform, AWS (S3, EC2, Lambda, VPC)
- DevOps & quality: CI/CD (Github Actions), automated testing, observability (logs/metrics/tracing), secure access controls
I enjoy mentoring engineers, improving engineering processes, and delivering measurable improvements in reliability and performance.
