Backend-focused Full-Stack Engineer specialized in scalable SaaS systems, backend architecture, and AI-driven infrastructure.
I design and build production-grade web platforms using Ruby on Rails, PostgreSQL, and cloud infrastructure — with a strong emphasis on performance, system boundaries, and long-term maintainability.
- Scalable backend architecture (multi-tenant systems, RBAC, secure data isolation)
- PostgreSQL performance & query optimization
- API design & versioning strategies
- Background job processing & async workflows (Sidekiq patterns)
- Caching strategies (Redis, HTTP caching)
- AI systems optimization & cost-efficient LLM integrations
- Observability & production reliability
I prioritize architectural clarity over quick fixes and build systems that balance product velocity with technical sustainability.
Building a canvas-based SaaS platform with real-time AI workflows.
Key engineering contributions:
- Designed secure multi-tenant backend architecture with role hierarchies
- Reduced API calls by 90–95% through local-first persistence & caching strategies
- Engineered AI token optimization layer cutting infrastructure costs by 70–85%
- Structured PostgreSQL data models for scalability and performance
- Implemented unified AI orchestration layer (OpenAI, Claude, Gemini, Whisper)
- Improved observability with structured logging and error monitoring
