About

From UI/UX to the systems behind products.

I started in UI/UX and full-stack work, then moved deeper into backend engineering because I enjoy building the systems behind products.

Today I focus on backend services and AI-integrated systems: APIs, asynchronous workers, data pipelines, semantic search, RAG and production LLM integrations.
