Senior Software Engineer · Backend & AI · Open to roles & freelance

I build backends — and the AI products on top of them.

Backend-focused engineer with 6+ years in Python, building cloud-native financial and data systems. I work end to end — APIs, serverless infrastructure, LLM features and on-chain payments — and ship products people actually use.
