Software Engineer - eCommerce · AI · Crypto · DevOps

Introduction


I'm a senior software engineer and systems architect with 10+ years of experience building scalable backend systems across eCommerce, SaaS, and crypto. I work primarily with Python, Golang, PHP, and Node.js — delivering clean, efficient APIs and cloud infrastructure.

Lately, I’ve been focused on AI-driven apps using LLMs, vector search, voice recognition, and TTS — alongside blockchain integrations like smart contracts and web3 wallets.

I thrive in complex DevOps environments, deploying with Docker, AWS, and CI/CD pipelines — always optimizing for performance, resilience, and maintainability.
