Senior backend engineer (20+ years) who moved into AI engineering. In 2026 I shipped three production AI platforms: a multimodal document platform with model benchmarking, a multi-provider LLM gateway with semantic routing, and a bookmark/search product with hybrid retrieval. Before that: payment-provider integration layer for AB InBev's BEES platform (28 countries, Kafka/RabbitMQ) via NTT DATA, and fintech integrations with BTG Pactual. MSc in Blockchain & DLT (Dublin City University). Open to full-time or contract; strongest as the engineer who owns a backend/LLM problem end to end and talks to users.
