Work Experience

Software Development Engineer

Independent Software Engineer (Freelance/Contract)

Jan 2025 - Present

Integrated LLM APIs (Claude, LLaMA, Mistral) with prompt engineering into production Python/FastAPI services, applying AI-assisted tooling (GitHub Copilot, Cursor AI) to accelerate development without compromising code quality. Collaborated with cross-functional stakeholders to scope features end-to-end requirements analysis, technical design, implementation, and deployment in an agile environment. Built and maintained React.js/TypeScript UI components alongside FastAPI backend services, integrating REST and WebSocket APIs to deliver responsive, real-time features to production. Applied SQL index analysis and query/ORM redesign to improve backend throughput by 30-40%, sustaining 1,000+ daily requests at sub-second latency. Secured REST endpoints with JWT-based authentication and role-based access control (RBAC); wrote unit and integration tests and participated in peer code reviews to keep code clean and maintainable. Monitored services using structured logging, distributed tracing, and health checks; triaged incidents and drove fixes to closure as part of an on-call rotation.
