I build scalable backend systems, data pipelines, and automation platforms used by SaaS, fintech, and e-commerce companies.
With 14+ years of backend engineering experience, I specialize in designing high-performance APIs, distributed ETL pipelines, and large-scale automation infrastructure.
$500K+ earned on Upwork across 270+ projects building backend systems and data platforms.
Key strengths:
• Backend architecture (Python, FastAPI, Node.js, .NET, PostgreSQL, Supabase, Celery/RabbitMQ/Redis)
• Data pipelines & ETL systems
• AI integrations and RAG pipelines on vector databases (pgvector, Pinecone, Qdrant)
• Large-scale data extraction and reverse engineered APIs
• Distributed workers and automation infrastructure
I focus on performance, reliability, and long-term maintainability, delivering backend platforms that grow with the business and remain stable under heavy load.
