Python Backend
& AI Integration Engineer

I build production backends and AI systems that ship: FastAPI services, LLM voice agents, RAG, and real-time pipelines.

Systems I've shipped

Backend · flagship

Billing & subscription migration

Key-based access leaked revenue and blocked recurring billing. I moved it to a metered subscription model with clean upgrade paths and reliable webhooks, without downtime for existing users.

AI / LLM

LLM voice agent

Outbound teams burned hours on dead leads. An LLM agent with answering-machine detection and live human transfer qualifies and routes calls end to end.

Marketplace repricing bot

A seller was losing to faster competitors. A FastAPI bot with proxy rotation and scheduled scans reprices automatically.

About

I turn “add AI” and “our backend can't keep up” into shipped systems

I'm a Python backend and AI engineer with 4+ years building production systems: FastAPI and Django services, real-time data pipelines, and LLM integrations across OpenAI, Claude and ElevenLabs.

I work end to end: from a fragile monolith to stable microservices, or from “we should add AI” to a monitored feature in production.
