Backend-leaning senior engineer, 6 years in production.
- NextLangua (https://nextlangua.com): AI language-learning app I built and run alone, 20,000+ downloads. Async FastAPI routing across OpenAI, Anthropic, Gemini and my own fine-tuned models, with per-task fallback. Moved to self-hosted Qwen/Gemma/Llama (LoRA, quantized from 16 GB to under 5 GB) and cut inference cost to near zero. Every model swap was gated by a frozen eval set.
- 4 years on a 6-person remote team at a US healthcare platform with 1M+ users: split the monolith, migrated the data layer with zero downtime, on-call.
- Started in C++ on a packet inspection engine at multi-gigabit line rate.
Looking for: remote senior backend or AI/LLM roles, full-time or B2B contract. Available now.
