Python & Django backends, LLM products built with data privacy in mind, payment-critical systems, React & React Native up front, running on infrastructure I operate myself.
A browser MCP server for AI agents: in a benchmark with Claude it took 7 turns where Playwright MCP took 13, at half the cost. The page comes back as a numbered list of what the agent can click, and eight tools cover the rest in under 1,000 tokens. Building it turned up a Playwright bug; I sent the fix upstream.
A car marketplace intelligence platform. I scrape turbo.az listings, price every car against real comparables, and alert users the moment something appears well below market value. Django/Ninja backend, an Expo/React Native mobile app, and a server-rendered web app share one API.
An education platform for teachers and students. I built the React web app, the Django backend, and the React Native mobile app.
A horizontally-scaled control plane for marketplace seller automation. A single Django image runs four roles (web, worker, scheduler, and a per-shop agent), where a central control plane orchestrates a fleet of per-shop agent VMs. Each agent reaches a shared PostgreSQL (through PgBouncer) over a private WireGuard mesh (NetBird), so shops scale out one VM each while all state stays central. A push to main auto-deploys the control plane and rebuilds every agent in the fleet.
In the Contractors product of a global hiring & payroll platform, I built the first version of RemoHire, a multi-agent AI interviewer (Pydantic AI) that gathers job requirements from clients, with separate agents for asking questions, extracting requirements, and keeping the conversation on track. I also integrated Airwallex for real-time payouts and rewrote payment-file processing to handle 1,000+ payments per batch.
An AI-powered brand asset hub. It centralizes logos, templates, videos and guidelines with auto-tagging and natural-language search, version control and approval workflows, and multi-tenant sharing for agencies. 50+ file types, connectors for Drive/Dropbox/S3.
A real-estate platform that scrapes listings, predicts prices with an ML model, and plots everything on a map.
Part of the team building a supply-chain management SaaS on a microservices architecture with CQRS and Event Sourcing. I designed and implemented services, database schemas, deployment, and monitoring.
Backend for a hiring platform connecting IT companies and candidates: job posting, applications, and subscription plans with recurring payments.
