01 / about

Who I am

AI/LLM and fullstack engineer. I build LLM-powered systems — including document-analysis platforms — with self-hosted inference and RAG that run fully on-prem, no external APIs. I own the full stack: Python backends, React frontends, and the retrieval, structured output, and evaluation in between.

Six years in mobile (Flutter) before that — usually the sole developer on a project, across crypto/Web3, healthtech, iGaming, and nonprofit.

    • Fullstack app around the pipeline — a FastAPI backend (REST + WebSocket) that orchestrates long-running document jobs via Celery/Redis with PostgreSQL for state, and a React + TypeScript UI for review and reporting.
