About
Backend + AI engineer with seven years across ad-tech, identity, fintech, and marketing platforms. Currently building Stackedtensor — Identity, BrandEngine, and TradeGrid — alongside the ad-engine work at Inferstrat.
Strongest at Django and FastAPI, PostgreSQL, async pipelines on Celery / RabbitMQ, and AI infrastructure — RAG, agentic systems, OpenAI / LangChain SDK work. Comfortable in the Go and Next.js / React stacks too.
I'm opening weekend cohorts on production Django and LLM engineering, plus long-form writing about the parts tutorials skip.

How I Work
Build to Last
Code that survives the next developer. Clean architecture, clear naming, tests where they bite.
Ship, Then Polish
Working software beats perfect plans. MVP first, iterate against feedback rather than opinion.
Teach What You Learn
Best way to master something is to explain it. Live cohorts, long-form writing, and building in public.
Let's Connect
Open to backend-heavy engagements, AI product work, and systems consulting.
