With 4\+ years in Python backend engineering, I've shipped production APIs in Django and FastAPI, optimized databases, managed async pipelines with Celery, and deployed on AWS\. Now I'm adding the layer that every product team is asking for: LLM & Gen AI integration\. 🔧 What I build: • REST APIs in Django/DRF and FastAPI — designed for scale, not just demos • AI\-powered features using OpenAI, Claude, and LangChain — integrated into real backends • RAG pipelines connecting LLMs to live data via vector search \(s3 vector, Pinecone\) • Async task queues with Celery \+ Redis for heavy AI workloads • Cloud deployments on AWS — EC2, S3, RDS — production\-hardened The reason I got into Gen AI isn't hype — it's because the gap between "a cool AI demo" and "a reliable AI feature in production" is a backend problem\. And that's exactly what I solve\. At Crest Infosystems \(L3\), I own full feature lifecycles\. Before that, I built and iterated on production software across multiple stints at TECHstile \- which taught me that systems need to survive real usage, not just impress in a code review\. 🤝 If you're building AI\-powered products and need a backend engineer who bridges Python expertise with Gen AI integration \- let's talk\. 📩 DM me or comment on any post\. Always happy to connect\.
