Real engagements, framed as: the problem, what got built, the stack, the result. Not feature lists.
02 — Track Record
Experience
Six years across CTO roles, senior engineering contracts, and independent consulting — building, scaling, and leading.
Production AI microservices with FastAPI and LangChain. Automated engagement improved 25%, data pipelines 40%, and deployment cycles cut 50% through CI/CD and containerisation.
Led an engineering team building an AI platform that scaled to 20,000+ active users with 99.9% uptime. Cut API response times 35–75% and integrated Stability.ai and OpenAI into production systems.
Backend systems supporting 10,000+ concurrent users, secure payment and withdrawal infrastructure on Node.js + PostgreSQL, and high-traffic crypto operations.
Reduced processing times 80% for critical internal workflows. Improved API response times from 500ms to 200ms by refactoring backend flows and frontend data fetching.
