I’m a backend & AI engineer with 3+ years of production experience in fintech, building high-throughput data pipelines and dependable microservices. I work primarily with Python and FastAPI, designing async ingestion and workflow systems that can process very large batches—up to tens of millions of records—while keeping performance stable and operational risk low. Lately, I’ve also been focusing on LLM-powered systems: I designed an in-house knowledge agent that uses retrieval-style layered context and resilient LLM pipelines to turn multiple repositories into technical and business documentation. I care a lot about reliability—checkpointing, TDD, and end-to-end observability—so the systems I ship keep working under real-world constraints.
