Summary

I build software that handles scale without breaking a sweat. Over the last 5+ years, I’ve worn a lot of hats: full-stack engineer, tech lead, and systems architect. But the core of what I do is always the same: I figure out how to make complex systems run faster, smarter, and deliver real business value. Lately, my focus is squarely on the intersection of AI and high-performance computing. I’m currently building with Rust and designing RAG (Retrieval-Augmented Generation) and LLM infrastructure. Everyone is talking about AI, but making it run efficiently, securely, and cheaply in production is the hard part, and that’s exactly what I focus on.A few things I’ve shipped that I'm proud of:1. Architected for speed: Built a 3D asset labeling workflow from the ground up that delivered a 200% efficiency improvement for a critical business operation. 2. Enterprise scale: Designed event-driven architectures that power cradle-to-grave analytics for massive global brands like Coca-Cola and Starbucks.3. High-throughput systems: Dived deep into the Web3 space early in my career, helping architect a DeFi exchange infrastructure that secured $35M in funding and handled $2M+ in daily trading volume.I’ve been a remote-first engineer for years, successfully leading technical initiatives and mentoring teams across the UK, Netherlands, Australia, and Pakistan. I know how to communicate across time-zones, bridge the gap between technical execution and business strategy, and make remote collaboration actually work.I’m always happy to connect with engineers, founders, and builders. If you’re working on something interesting at the intersection of AI infrastructure, systems programming, or complex distributed systems, let’s talk.Core Stack: Rust, AI/LLMs, RAG Architecture, MERN, Go, AWS, GCP, Docker, Kubernetes.#RustLang #RAG #LLMInfrastructure #AIEngineering #SystemsArchitecture #SeniorSoftwareEngineer #DistributedSystems #SoftwareArchitecture #MERNStack #RemoteEngineering
