I build and improve complex backend and AI systems, with a focus on reliability, scaling, and making them work in production. Recently developed and deployed a RAG-based internal knowledge system (Python, React, FastAPI, Qdrant, Docker), focusing on retrieval quality, ingestion, and making inconsistent data usable in practice.

Previously: - 10+ years owning and deploying audit-critical enterprise systems across finance, data, and operations in multinational environments (SAP/BI/VBA stack) - Built simulation systems and decision logic for complex domains; led technical delivery across cross-functional teams in complex corporate environments - Quickly taking ownership of unfamiliar systems, diagnosing issues, and stabilizing production - End-to-end development and release of software products (solo execution)

Open to working with teams building or scaling backend/AI systems, especially where reliability, data quality, or system behavior are important concerns.
