“Backend/Python engineer who owned an end-to-end FastAPI + AWS internal natural-language document Q&A system (Textract extraction, embeddings/vector DB, LLM integration) with strong focus on reliability and latency. Hands-on with Kubernetes + GitOps (Argo CD, Helm, rolling updates/auto-rollback) and built/optimized Kafka streaming pipelines using Prometheus/Grafana. Also supported a zero-downtime on-prem to cloud migration with parallel run and gradual traffic cutover.”

“Backend engineer with hands-on experience designing and refactoring scalable Node.js/MongoDB systems and building Python/FastAPI services. Emphasizes production-grade security (JWT, refresh tokens, RBAC, Supabase Auth, RLS) and reliability practices like strong testing, monitoring, and rollback planning, including resolving concurrency and token/validation edge cases.”

“Backend engineer with experience at HSBC and Machinations who has delivered major production performance wins (cutting large trade-file upload times from ~13–15s to ~2s) using chunked parallel processing with strong reliability controls. Also built and shipped an applied AI RAG workflow using Langflow + Cohere embeddings + FAISS with hosted/local LLM fallbacks (Hugging Face, Ollama) and production-grade guardrails, observability, and evaluation.”

“Worked on CI/CD for a project called NXTFolio, including writing acceptance tests in Cucumber. Also collaborated with customers/operators via weekly check-ins to understand needs and align technical work to requirements.”

“Backend/data engineer with hands-on production experience building reliable Python FastAPI services on Kubernetes and delivering AWS EKS + Terraform CI/CD with strong secrets isolation and rollback practices. Also built AWS Glue ETL pipelines into S3/Redshift with schema-evolution handling and data-quality controls, modernized legacy analytics into modular Python services with parallel-run parity validation, and has demonstrated SQL tuning impact (minutes to seconds) plus ownership of batch pipeline incidents end-to-end.”

“Backend/data engineer with hands-on production experience building FastAPI APIs secured with JWT and delivering AWS-based data processing solutions using Lambda and ECS Fargate.
