Expertise

The engineering behind my products — backend systems, data, APIs, and applied AI.

AI & LLM Development

I design and ship AI-powered features that go beyond a chatbot widget — generative content pipelines, conversational agents with memory, and image generation, integrating both hosted models (OpenAI) and self-hosted ones (Ollama) into production systems.

  • LLM integration & prompt engineering
  • AI image generation pipelines (OpenAI gpt-image-1, GPT-4o vision)
  • Conversational agents with persistent memory and state
  • Self-hosted model deployment (Ollama) for cost control and privacy

Backend & Systems Engineering

I design and build robust backend systems — the foundation of everything I ship, from World Stories' game server to the infrastructure around it.

  • Node.js & Sails.js backend architecture
  • Microservices & clear service boundaries
  • Authentication & authorization systems
  • Kubernetes-based deployment

Database Architecture

I design database structures that keep data integrity, security, and performance solid as a product's data model grows.

  • Schema design & optimization
  • Data migration & integration
  • Performance tuning
  • Data security implementation

API Development

I build well-designed APIs — the connective tissue between a game client, a backend, and third-party services like OpenAI.

  • RESTful API development
  • GraphQL API implementation
  • API documentation
  • Third-party API integration

Also Part of the Toolkit

Data Analytics

Turning raw data into something a product can act on — dashboards, metrics pipelines, and decision support.

Security

Practical security measures — authentication, secrets handling, and hardening — applied to my own systems in production.

Cloud & Infrastructure

Kubernetes-based deployment and CI/CD that scales with a product instead of fighting it.

How I Build

01

Idea & Scope

I start from a concept and sketch out what a first real version needs to prove out.

02

Architecture

I design the system up front — data model, services, and where AI fits — so the foundation holds as the product grows.

03

Build

I build iteratively, shipping working versions early and refining based on what actually holds up in use.

04

Ship & Iterate

I deploy to production, monitor what happens, and keep iterating — the job doesn't end at launch.
