❄️ Somewhere in the snow. Laptop glowing. Engineering notes open beside a worn-out book.
F1 telemetry on the second screen. Building something serious.

}I'm a backend engineer who writes production systems, not demo projects.
APIs that hold under load. Databases that don't leak. AI backends that actually think.
Right now at the intersection of backend infrastructure and applied AI — two tracks most engineers treat as separate. Not me.

🟢 AI-Powered Document API — LIVE
Production RAG pipeline. PDF uploads → semantic retrieval → conversational Q&A. Real Render deployment with real infra debugging — RAM constraints, dependency conflicts, build pipeline failures. All resolved. |
🔵 TaskOps — BUILDING
Multi-tenant REST API. Isolated org data. Role-based access control. Alembic migrations. CI pipeline runs pytest on every push. Redis caching layer incoming this week. |
|
Async WebSocket backend with multi-room concurrent connections, JWT-authenticated handshakes, and indexed FK queries replacing sequential scans. |
Stateless JWT auth with bcrypt + RBAC. OWASP-aligned input validation. Pluggable microservice module. Full pytest + Postman coverage. |
|
LLM integration with prompt routing, streaming responses, and multi-turn conversation state. Prompt templates engineered to cut hallucinations. |
Role-based REST API with conflict-detection scheduling at the DB layer. Demonstrates cross-stack backend breadth beyond Python/FastAPI. |
|
Cross-platform AI productivity suite — local Whisper speech recognition, multi-model AI router (20+ models), visual workflow automation, extensible plugin architecture (Python/TS/Rust SDKs). Phase 1 MVP shipped. 24+ tests passing. |
🔴 Tagline
"Your messy thoughts. Made useful." Intelligent workspace that transforms raw input — voice, notes, screenshots, rough ideas — into polished emails, plans, briefs, and structured outputs. Sophisticated design system. Simulated AI that feels real. |
|
Evidence-backed engineering storytelling platform. Turns real commits, PRs, and architecture decisions into technical narratives. Background processing via BullMQ. Linear + GitHub aesthetic. |
AI personal brand engineer. Ingests real engineering work and generates high-signal technical content. Studies publishing patterns from Karpathy, swyx, hwchase17. Build a real technical identity — not noise. |
