About
Senior Python backend engineer with 9+ years of production experience (Prodaft, Akinon) and 34 completed Upwork jobs at 100% Job Success. What I do best: • Backend & APIs: FastAPI, Django, async Python, PostgreSQL, Redis, Celery. Clean, tested, documented. • Scraping & Automation: Reliable pipelines for hard targets: logins, JS-heavy sites, rate limits, scheduled runs, clean structured output. • LLM Integration: Adding AI to real products: RAG with pgvector/Qdrant, structured outputs, tool calling, cost & latency control, self-hosted models (vLLM, Ollama). • Deployment: Docker, CI/CD, Linux servers (Hetzner, AWS), Traefik/Caddy. Recent example: I designed, built and deployed CrossIndie solo (see Portfolio). It's a cross-promotion platform built on FastAPI, async SQLAlchemy, PostgreSQL and Redis, with signed single-use tracking tokens, rate limiting, fraud detection, a Next.js dashboard, CI and Docker deployment. I communicate directly, give realistic estimates and send updates without being asked. Send me your project and I'll reply with a concrete plan.Read more
