THE JOURNEY
From First Principles to High-Throughput Cloud
I am an AI & Backend Software Engineer and Gold Medalist in Software Engineering from KFUEIT. Over 4+ years of professional engineering across remote teams in Switzerland, the US, and the UK, I specialize in high-concurrency Django/Python APIs, relational database architecture (PostgreSQL, MySQL), and production AI integrations (OpenAI GPT, Google Gemini, Sentence Transformers).
My track record spans Swiss SaaS platforms (UpVision GmbH), collaborative idea communities (Notepad), AI document generators (Proposal Genie), and over 50 delivered client systems as a Top-Rated Plus talent on Upwork and Professional Seller on Fiverr. I build robust subscription billing systems with Stripe, build 30+ n8n workflow automations, and architect caching layers with Redis that slash primary database load by up to 75%.
