Full-Stack Engineer • Building Modern Web Apps & Self-Hostable AI Infrastructure

I build secure, scalable platforms across both frontend and backend — with a focus on TypeScript, modern web frameworks, and self-hostable AI/LLM infrastructure.

Compliance-friendly, self-hostable LLM gateway with an OpenAI‑compatible API, virtual API keys, streaming, and live analytics.

• Unified endpoint: /v1/chat/completions (OpenAI‑compatible)
• Redis‑backed virtual keys: rate limits, budgets, usage stats
• Realtime logs: latency, tokens, cost, user tracking
• Key dashboard: revoke, rotate, configure
• Streaming via Node.js http with typed proxy layers
• Docker‑first deploy (Render, Railway, Fly.io, etc.)

🤷‍♂️ Was supposed to “just handle the frontend”… 3 months later I was building the entire backend + infrastructure — because someone had to do it properly.

• DataHall — Secure document platform with auth, file uploads, analytics, and audit controls. Deployable on Vercel or fully self-hosted via Docker.
• WorkStory — Hiring suite built with Angular 18 that streamlines recruitment with flexible video interviews, centralized recruiter dashboards, candidate-friendly application flows, and AI-assisted features via Gemini.
• Issue Tracker — Full-stack Next.js app with SSR, secure auth, and clean dashboard UI using Prisma and PostgreSQL.
• Game Hub — API-driven React game browser with filters, infinite scroll, and custom hooks using Zustand and RAWG API.

• Focusing on: LLM platforms, web infrastructure, and scalable backend systems
• Open to: Open-source collaborations, platform engineering roles, and startup builds
• Learning: Redis internals, self-hosting workflows, and real-world LLM routing
• Ask me about: Full-stack Next.js, OAuth/Auth0/NextAuth, AI integrations, and deployment strategy

• Build things that are practical, adaptable, and easy to maintain
• Simplicity is a strength — complexity should have a reason
• Strong architecture leads to happy developers and users
• Consistency matters more than cleverness
• Projects should get better over time, not just bigger
• The odds of me rewriting something after saying “this is fine for now” is approximately 100%.
